Where
cad == Computer Aided Design
cae == Computer Aided Engineering
cam == Computer Aided Manufacturing
cat == Computer Aided Testing

The field is exploding with new hardware and software in these fields.

Perhaps it would be better organized as either:
net.compaids
OR
net.ca.design, net.ca.engr, net.ca.manufacture, net.ca.test

Any comments or suggestions?  Where should discussions about such subjects
and available products take place before any such new newsgroups emerge?
