Subj: REPLY TO MSG #288 (MISCELLANY)

Breakfast in Berkeley in Sept sounds okay by me.  It would be nice to have
Tracy with us if we could arrange it.  We've always got lots to go over, and
over, and over, and...
 
The Interactive Solutions ROM was marketed by Tandy way back when.  Is it
supported?  Well, ahhhmmm.... that depends.  It's a lot like suspenders... it
"holds de pants on you."  Or, another way to say it is: if we start a IS ROM
group that will bring all the tricks together.  Then, we could post the tricks
here, online, and via our other medias.
 
I'd really like to see more group work and am looking for interested parties.
It would be like setting up SIGs.  One idea I've been kicking around is setting
up a list of message subject names in the conference, i.e., ISROM, TSDOS, UR2,
ROM2/CLU, DRIVES, TELCOM.  If managed tightly for uniformity, the subject
topics would lend themselves to online searching within the current
architecture of the existing message base.  Example: You're interested in the
IS ROM.  You select (R)ead <S>elective <S)ubj ISROM starting at message number
xxxx.  Responses to messages within the thread become part of that thread.
 
What do you think?  -Rick-
