[cctalk] Re: what is on topic?

Windows 2003 and XP is about as obsolete now as the IBM PC was in 1995. Probably more so. XP is popular on Vogons but I'm sure considerably less then 5% of computers actually host it. There's also the issue of beating a dead horse. There will always and forever (and forever...) be some esoteric issue to discuss about some bizzare and mostly unknown 8 bit system that 3 people on the whole of planet earth own (now not to brag, but chances are there are a dozen or less Northstar Dimension owners (never mind users) out there. And I'm proud to be 1). Who am I going to discuss that with?? And a larger issue is what? An even larger issue is why? Well I got plans ... Lists of this sort are about tech and used by people who love it. Windows 11 is not germain to these conversations. But what about, and I'm just putting this out there, making pre UEFI shtuff -on-? I don't even know how I personally feel about such a delineation. But the suggestion is there. Nostalgic weirdos like older tech. Yes often dang old. Now a Thinkpad T60p doesn't exactly seem dang old. But it's pretty much dang obsolete (can't remember what sort of firmware it has but the processor, though 64 bit, is part of that hazy quasi transitional grouping that had more similarities to a 32 bit chip).
