Granted, this is the on- and off-topic list, vs. cctech as frequently
(and
recently!) noted here. But having said that, and at the risk of
starting
the you-know-what conversation, I * strongly * disagree with putting
"Pentium" (or anything newer than most computers based on a 286/386)
into
the on-topicness of classiccmp. I know this is supposed to be a
vaguely
family-friendly list and all, but as for the fucking 10-year-rule, I
say
let's fucking throw it away and never fucking bring it up again.
Chronological rules don't work because of Moore's Law.
