- I'd like to see such a group; I don't know much about multics, but it'd
- be great fun to read. All this provided you think there'd be enough
- traffic to warrant a new newsgroup, of course.
-
- The name alt.fan.multics is *bad*, though, because all the other
- alt.fan.* groups are about people in show biz; it would lead the
- newbies to believe that multics was a pop group :-).
-
- May I suggest alt.os.multics, or possibly
- alt.folklore.computers.multics instead?
