Not to carry the thread too much further, but:
1. Jay is the moderator, and he noted this is off-topic. Asking the
list members for clarification is the wrong direction to pursue.
Ask Jay via a private message.
2. I believe the context of "off-topic" in here is akin to:
1. Machine that is not new, but not yet considered "classic".
Later 68K Macs or maybe early PPC Macs would qualify
2. Something that is way old, but not exactly a computer (an
old truck that hauled PDPs around might make the cut)
3. Something that is new, but has classic computer ties
(C64DTV, FPGA implementations of a VAX, etc.) or can help
older machines (FPGAs, SerialATA chipsets for grafting new
drives into old machines)
3. Things that get a lot of coverage elsewhere are pruned rather
viciously in here. There's tons of sites talking about Mac and
WIndows exploits, so there's no need to waste bandwidth here
discussing them. Now, if someone talked about exploits for the
AmigaOne, which has little coverage elsewhere, the group here
might be OK for a bit, since the discussion involves #2.3 above.
But, #2 and #3 are my opinion. Ask Jay via PM if you want to continue
the discussion. The moderator has spoken, and it is his list.
