[Message deleted] That may well have been my first message to the list. However, when I joined you had to send a message to the list owner (looks like I mis-remembered, it wasn't Selam) and explain why you should be accepted This was discontinued after about a day due to tbe number of people who wanted to join. Anyway, in said message (sent by private e-mail, and thus presumably lost) I asked if it was a micros-only list. The original impression I got was that it might be, and I wanted to be sure before talking about PDP11s and PERQs. One of the early versions of the FAQ for this list has a question basically covering this and pointing out that its a misconception that this is a micros-only list. Before anyone asks, microcomputers (provided they are 'classic') are, and have always been, welcome here. -tony
