I agree : that group doesn't have much hardware discussion (except to say 
'buy an SGI' !), and the hardware threads that do appear don't last long.
I think there's a need for a general purpose hardware group, and the
existence of such a group would make a glove-only one rather pointless.
...periphs seems too limited (I think of peripherals as parts very distinct
from the host, and some possible video adapters aren't really that. 
We might even develop a complete host, specifically for VR).

How about sci.virtual-worlds.hardware ? I don't much care whether it's 
moderated or not, as long the moderator is welded to it's keyboard :-).
