But there's anohter problem. Any computer with sufficient storage (either
RAM or disk space which could simulate RAM) could run an emulator that
could then run Windows 95 (or whatever). Sure it may take a couple of
years to get to the statup screen, but a PDP11 with some kind of
graphical output, or a PERQ, or ... is technuically _capable_ of running
sai OS. Of course nobody would suggest doing it, but I'd hate it for all
those fine machines to be declared non-classic.

So how about, "If it's a computing
device of some sort that isn't made
anymore, nor is there any commercial support to be had for it. Oh, and if
the computing device is capable of running Windows 95 or better, it's still
off topic."
VMS, UNIX, BSD, Linux, AIX, OS/390, zOS, CP/M, A/UX, Mac OS, OS-9, QNX,
Solaris, IRIX, ...
All off-topic, now? They're all better than Win95, aren't they?
