	Nothing against Macs or PCs myself. I own a fair few. Some even work. I
remember when the Mac first came out we tried to *share* this group with
Mac people. They tried to take over and boot the Apple// folks out. Then
someone pointed out the "2" at the end of the group name. The Mac folks
wanted to ignore it but then the Apple// folks forced a vote on the
creation of the Mac groups. Quite a number of the Mac folks were against
it (they thought anything "Apple" belonged to them). Once the Mac groups
were created the logic of "this isn't the place to discuss Mac issues"
took over. So now we just get the Mac newbies and PC users who don't know
any better bothering us.
