As for the name, are we compelled to keep the "games" part? Mark Horton suggested net.games.vcs, but there were subgroup problems. How about net.vcs, then subgroups could be net.vcs.atari, etc. While I'm on the subject, I have a problem. It seems a heavy fingered lout (no names, please) misaligned the connector and plug while trying to hook in my atari's right joystick, and managed to break off one of the pins in the male socket. Now I have a right joystick that can move, but the "fire" button does not work (yep, just happened to be that pin). Can anyone tell me where I could find a replacement socket? I'm sure I could install it myself, and would rather not have to send it off and pay someone to do it. Until I get the problem taken care of, two player games will be unpopular, and predictably unfair. David Bryant cbosg!djb
