Was there ever a "comp.os.ms-windows.win98" newsgroup?
There is a small win-95 hierarchy along the lines of
comp.os.ms-windows.win95. But there doesn't ever seem to have been comp.os.ms-windows.win98. Does anyone know why? I ask because I was looking at this: -------------------- http://www.big-8.org/wiki/Nan:2011-0...eat-downsizing From: Big-8 Management Board Subject: 1st RFD: The Great Downsizing 2011/1 Message-ID: REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD) This is a formal Request for Discussion (RFD) to remove the following 198 unmoderated newsgroups. -------------------- And noticed the proposal to delete this group: comp.os.ms-windows.win95.setup |

My recollection from that time was that I found more good operating system-specifc groups in the alt.comp hierarchy, and more hardware-specific groups in the comp.sys and alt.comp.sys hierarchies.
