Erik's which is mostly about exactly that, folks helping each other restoring and
modifying their old Intel boxes (but also more esoteric stuff, in case I'm giving the
wrong impression).
Meanwhile, here we can spend a week discussing and reading about arcane
camera stuff, but woe to anyone who might mention Windows 3.1...
And now of course we have to have the tedious "what is vintage" discussion yet
once again... has this been a problem? Have we been overwhelmed with Vista
questions?
Did someone use the word 'anal'...?

As one of the moderators there, I'm going to disagree with you. It is a
'vintage' computer forum. Something that can run a current version of
Linux would probably be off topic. The difference is that we shuffle it
to an off-topic area instead of just ranting about what is on-topic or
off topic for days on end.
