I don't think it's a good idea at all. It would only dilute the message

definitely interested in them because I have several myself.

I've long
thought that CC should be subdivided into micros and minis.
I imagine many scroll down the messages and delete anything related to
DEC PDP, VAX, and any other mini stuff like I do, and I'm sure the mini
and
big iron people do the same.
At some point
that might not be a bad idea, but... I'm not really in favor
of that at this point. There is just too many threads that are applicable to
both. The recent discussion about PROM burners and such being a good
example. Cleaning techniques, repair, etc.
