Actually I've recently considered unsubscribing. I really don't care
for DEC's, big iron or mini's, no disrespect to those who do collect
them, but I no longer have the time to wade through all of the traffic.
  I would really like to split the list into the "big iron" side and
"micro/workstation" side. I'm on some lists run out of the Low End Mac
site and really appreciate how Dan has divided his list by machine class
and topic.
