I agree that the list runs fairly well without a "list nazi" stomping
around policing everyone's posts. I'm on several Mac lists on LEM. I
posted a question on a list and was slapped down by the list police. It
concerned a Daystar Genesis with a G4 upgrade card running OS-X. It
seems that it wasn't welcome on the Powermac list becase Apple didn't
make it. It wasn't welcome on OldMacMP list because it wasn't running
it's original MP processor card and it wasn't welcome on the G-List
becasue it wasn't a factory G-4. The only place it was considered on
topic was on the Unsupported-X list.

It depends. I find Sgi VW320/540 workstations worthy of discussion as
well as the Intergraph NT based systems. How about a Raptor-3. NT
based, but hardly your father's Dell. I'm interested in Sgi's, NeXT,
Sun's, Mac's and older DOS machines. I wade through lots of posts about
DEC's and other big iron that I never read because that's not my thing.
