Would anyone object to adding an official 'cool
factor clause' to the
10-year rule? We already sorta have that now, where a newer computer
(e.g. mid-90s SGI MIPS) has sufficient cool factor that we're ok with
it. All we need is a concept of negative cool factor, so that some
computers (e.g. Packard Bell PC) might never be on-topic.
I have a PB that I keep as a sample of bad design, along with the IBM
Aptiva, and AST Bravo.
