YUKK!!!!  The S/N ratio of ANY group in alt.* is about 1/1000000.  I like
the comp.os.* idea better myself.  Also, even if it were started in the
alt heirarchy, when switched to comp a year from now we'd all see the "I'm
not switching and you cant make me" posts.  Blah!!!!!

My vote is for the groups specified above.
