I did pause when creating "Video" & "Audio" instead of graphics and sound. But the specific reason to use those words is that I was hoping that would intimate that we are talking about the Video Hardware and not just computer graphics or GS graphics or drawing with the Toolbox. In engineering terms, we typically think of the circuitry to produce and image is the "Video Generator". In fact, the video generator chip for the Apple IIgs is called the VGC or "Video Graphics Controller", so I guess you could go either way. This is similarly why I chose "Audio" over sound. I suppose I'm being pedantic. But it can change, let me think about this one today.

I also intentionally limited the number of forums because I was afraid that it would be overkill to create one for every atomic subject. Currently, we have more forums than we do users! Smile

But I guess that's the point of building our own IIgs site is we can have as much or as little delineation as we need. So I agree, let's create a separate programming topic for "Peripherals & I/O" and one for "Emulators" (good idea!) I think we can leave the Networking discussion (whether ethernet or appletalk) under "Peripherals & I/O" for now, but who knows, with a run of new UtherNet II cards there could be a future need for a networking specific forum.
