I've been in the internet technology industry for 10 years, and I 
believe that in the case of the Disklavier group that Google has a 
better product more suited to the needs of the group.

The only bitch I have about google groups is that there does not 
appear to be a way to create a directory structure in the files

IE:

+files
---Jazz
---Ragtime
---Classical
---Pictures
