    I heartily agree. ... I would recommend a name like
    net.sources.msdos or such, since "pc" is becoming a broader term.

I'd like to second that!  Trying to remember were a posted source
was after you've seen it and not save it immediately is a bit of
a problem.   "Now were was it?  In net.sources, INFO-IBMPC, net.micro*,
etc. etc...."  Net.sources.msdos is the most appropriate name so long
as the entries aren't always IBM specific.
