Yea, that's a for-sure assessment. If this is the case, then perhaps
what's considered "Off Topic" needs to be severely revisited. I'm all
for
things CC related, but where do you draw the line? And I kind of figured
that the electronics classes might draw it's own brand of off-topicisms.
One can see a siderail into microcontrollers (they are computing devices,
and they are over 10 years old). Does everyone else want to read about
them? Or just "real" classic computers?
My thinking it was more out of consideration for others than segration
because y'all who don't subscribe are no longer good enough.

And while we're about it, let's also
have
IBM-maingrams(a)classicmp.org (so those who don't have room for such a
machine don't have to read about them)
Minis(a)classiccmp.org (so the home-computer enthusiasts don't have to
read about PDP11s)
PCs(a)classiccmp.org (so those who believe that no IBM clone is ever
'classic' don't get bothered with messages about them)
Cleaning-plastic(a)classiccmp.org
Metalwork(a)classiccmp.org (for people who want to make new mechanical
parts for their printers and disk drives)
Wow, I've never seen my sarcasm meter quite so pegged. I
think it's broken
now due to overload *GRIN*
