Votes must be recieved by 23:59 GMT, 3 April 1995. This vote is being conducted by a neutral third party. Voting questions should be directed to Ed Bailey (bailey@hagar.ph.utexas.edu). For questions about the proposed group, contact Brian Hughes . CHARTERS Group: comp.sys.mac.printing Status: unmoderated Charter: One of the single largest topics of discussion in comp.sys.mac.hardware has always been printers and printing. While much of this discussion is hardware based, there is enough non-hardware specific posts, in groups other than csm.hardware, that this topic deserves it's own top level newsgroup. This group is intended to be the new home of all questions and discussions related to printing in the Macintosh world. Topics appropriate for this group include all discussion about printers - personal, workgroup and typesetters, plotters, printing architectures like PostScript and QuickDraw GX, font discussion, and electronic document publishing like QuickDraw GX PDDs and Adobe Acobat. Group: comp.sys.mac.hardware.storage Status: unmoderated Charter: A large segment of the comp.sys.mac.hardware discussion is focused hard disk drives and other forms of storage media, including RAID systems, optical disk drives and other forms of storage media. From RAID systems, to optical drives, to DAT backup drives and CD-ROM, how data is stored in the Mac world is a very important topic of discussion. SCSI, IDE, and FireWire storage architectures are also important discussion topics. This group is the place where all of this will be posted. Group: comp.sys.mac.hardware.video Status: unmoderated Charter: Video display monitors and video input and output hardware has taken on a much larger role in the past year and that role is only going to increase in the future. Monitors, flatbed and slide scanners, slide makers, projection systems and "video toaster"-style systems and other video production platforms are all topics for discussion in this newsgroup. Group: comp.sys.mac.hardware.misc Status: unmodertated Charter: This group is a rename of the current comp.sys.mac.hardware group. It is the place where all other Macintosh hardware related discussion, not covered by the above groups, will go. HOW TO VOTE You should send MAIL (posts to a group are invalid) to voting@calvin.ph.utexas.edu (just replying by MAIL to this message should work). Posts can not be counted. You will recieve a reply within a few days after your votes are recieved which indicates how I think you voted - please mail corrections immediately. PLEASE USE THE FORM AS IT IS.

You may _NOT_ do a combined vote - i.e., "I vote for all of them" or "I vote against all of them." Please use the form. -=-=-=-=-=- Don't Delete Anything Between These Lines =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- comp.sys.mac reorganization Ballot (Don't remove this marker) Give your real name here: [Your Vote] Group ----------------------------------------------------------------------- [ YES ] sample.group.you.support [ NO ] sample.group.you oppose [ ] comp.sys.mac.printing [ ] comp.sys.mac.hardware.storage [ ] comp.sys.mac.hardware.video [ ] rename comp.sys.mac.hardware to comp.sys.mac.hardware.misc -=-=-=-=-=- Don't Delete Anything Between These Lines =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Standard Guidelines for voting apply.
