Question is, should it be net.games.atari (ala fa.apollo, which turned into fa.works) or net.games.vcs, and if net.games.vcs, should there be subgroups (eventually) like net.games.vcs.atari, or just put them all together? Right now they have to go together since net.games.vcs is 13 characters, and number of newsgroups controls speed of readnews. I'd like to hear more about the ColecoVision. I have seen a price ad for it for $179.95 - is this a good price? It apparently comes with Donkey Kong. What do ColecoVision cartridges cost? (Atari 400 roms cost an arm and a leg, so I wonder if this is a trend?) Does anyone have a handle on what the Expansion Modele #1 (to run Atari roms) costs? I wonder if it's not better to just buy an Atari VCS as well. How about the Coleco controllers? The ad shows something with a 12 key pad, a side button, and a knob. Is this knob both joystick and paddle, or what? It looks uncomfortable - how does it feel? Anybody know anything more about the expansion modules (price, availability date)? Mark
