NeXT sold their<br /> hardware business in 1993, and were acquired by Apple in 1996. Any<br /> announcements about legacy hardware and software may be made in the<br /> unmoderated groups of the comp.sys.next.* hierarchy.<br /> <br /> <br /> HISTORY: <br /> <br /> The newsgroup comp.sys.next.announce was created in July 1991 as part<br /> of the reoranization of the comp.sys.next.* (CSN) hierarchy that<br /> included creation of CSN.announce, CSN.sysadmin, CSN.programmer, and<br /> CSN.misc (a rename of comp.sys.next). CSN.advocacy, CSN.bugs,<br /> CSN.hardware, CSN.marketplace, and CSN.software were created in<br /> subsequent reorganizations.<br /> <br /> Traffic peaked at a high of around 3 articles per day in 1993 and<br /> 1994, and gradually declined to slightly less one per day by 1999. The<br /> last approvals were in January 2000.<br /> <br /> <br /> DISTRIBUTION:<br /> <br /> This document has been posted to the following newsgroups:<br /> <br /> news.announce.newgroups<br /> news.groups.proposals<br /> comp.sys.next.announce<br /> comp.sys.next.advocacy<br /> comp.sys.next.misc<br /> <br /> <br /> CHARTER:<br /> <br /> The newsgroup line is:<br /> <br /> |comp.sys.next.announce Announcements related to the NeXT computer system.<br /> <br /> The charter (extracted from the CFV):<br /> <br /> This group is for NeXT computer related announcements. This includes,<br /> but is not limited to user group meeting announcements, new products<br /> relating specifically to the NeXT machine, and other information<br /> announcements (such as the FAQ).<br /> <br /> <br /> PROPONENT: <br /> <br /> Jim Riley &lt;jimrtex@pipeline.com&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> CHANGE HISTORY: <br /> <br /> 2007-03-23 1st RFD<br /> 2007-04-04 2nd RFD/LCC<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
