This is why it's just easier to use a single

at that. Why is age acceptable everywhere else in collecting, but not here?
Otherwise, someone (the list owner?) has to pontificate over a list of
acceptable computers. Good luck with that.
"I wasn't here for the last XXX number of times that that flamewar raged"
is not an acceptable reason to deliberately re-ignite it.
It is an easy, fully objective parameter for OLD machines, not for
"classic" machines, which is subjective.
If you want to create a separate list, where that is the criterion, DO SO.
I will be happy to subscribe to it.
I inherited my mother's Win95 "e-machine", with all the stickers on it;
who wants it? I have plenty of old machines, many of which are not
classic.
But age is explicitly NOT part of the criteria on THIS list.
That battle has been fought!.
