	This newsgroup is hereby established, with the following
purpose in mind:  Discussion of hardware and software relating to
the world of the Motorola 68000 family.

	All discussion of 68000 related things in net.micro should
move to this list.

	The responses in favor of a net.micro.68k were very good.
Some people would rather have seen a "16-bit oriented" list.  However,
I for one am only interested in 68000's.  There is very little going
on with other 16 bit machines that I'm interested in.  From the
volume of queries I've had about 68K related software & systems,
I would say there are others in boat.  I have no objection to there
also being a 'net.micro.16k' or 'net.micro.86' if there's enough
intereset in these other chips.  I think it might also be a good idea
to create a 'net.micro.80' for the 8080/Z80 world.
