It already allows DOS, and excludes Windows 3.0 until about 2010, which is
about when I may even start feeling nostalgic about it.
Why not just forget the 10 year rule altogether and just address the

modern products. You need two lists soon -- classic computers ( blinking
lights) and classic 8 bit cpu's ( ie - cp/M)
and modern classic computers ... 386's +.

PS. or just two lists ... stuff with binking lights and junk with out. :)
stuff: junk we keep. junk: stuff we toss out.
