I also agree that moving into the comp heirarchy is a good idea, though
I do prefer the name comp.sys.3b1.xxx, since we have enough people
confusing us with PCs running unix.  I'm not worried that anyone will
try to exclude discussions of 7300s, any more than we currently exclude
CT MiniFrames and our other cousins.

So, what groups do we want?

    comp.sys.3b1
    comp.sources.3b1

or

    comp.sys.3b1.general
    comp.sys.3b1.uucp
    comp.sys.3b1.bugs
    comp.sys.3b1.sources

The first set will probably be easier to pass, and there really isn't a
lot of traffic on the uucp and bugs groups.

How about it?  Anyone willing to read the guidelines and do this right?
