This is really funny. Do you all realize how many times we've gone over
this over the past 25 years?
As Bill poignantly explained, maybe instead of trying to establish a
cut-off date, we instead think outside of the box:
If enough people object to a topic, it stops. Let's call it three
objections. If three different people reply to a post objecting to it then
whoosh, off it goes into the bit bucket, never to be spoken of again.
Example:
Someone A: Hey, is it OK if I talk about Windows 11?
Someone B: Objection.
Someone C: Objection.
Someone D: Objection.
Someone A: Ok, sorry [bashfully skulks away]
Food for thought.

Ok. Wonderful. I guess we've sufficiently established that from
henceforth
anything dang-old is totally on topic. Any
detractors? :)
Transcoding as in vcr to mpegs? I wasn't suggesting XP was utterly
entirely useless. Video editing in a modern sense requires loads of
processing h.p. to be efficient. And no transcodimg is necessary.
Certainly
not an expert. But I should think older hardware
would be very very slow.
