From: Charlie Russel - MVP on 20 May 2010 19:59 Normally, I'd agree with you. For myself, personally, it's a better fit. But I think having it in Answers will, ultimately, make it more discoverable for end users. Most IT Pro types are starting to get this figured out, but the consumers are just now getting pushed into 64-bit because they're buying 4GB and greater PCs for the first time. So anything that helps the consumers find us, is good. However, I won't quibble whichever they choose, so long as they give us our own home. (And that does not preclude an alt.os or comp. NG, IMHO.) -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/russel "Phoenix" <fake(a)fakeemail.com> wrote in message news:almarsoft.2170264157914294006(a)news.albasani.net... > On Thu, 20 May 2010 15:16:08 -0700, "Charlie Russel - MVP" > <Charlie(a)mvKILLALLSPAMMERSps.org> wrote: >> Well, I've proposed they create a 64bit NG.

From: Carlos on 20 May 2010 20:55 Hmmm... "quibble", nice and new addition to my English language database. I would have never figured out how to say "ser quisquilloso" in English. :) Carlos "Charlie Russel - MVP" wrote: > Normally, I'd agree with you. For myself, personally, it's a better fit.

There are several Usenet providers who don't charge for text groups such as this, if you want binaries the list gets much smaller but for text only try http://www.eternal-september.org/ -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://twovoyagers.com/improve-usenet.org/ |
