Yeah! And what about DesQviewX? Huh, Huh????
Desqview is clearly on-topic, see my previous post :>
Data point 1: I've never seen any opposition to
discussion of SGI O2s,
for example, even though they're several years short of the 10-year rule.
Because they fit the definition I gave (or more specifically, that the
dictionary gave). They are generally considered classic :)
Data point 2: I've never seen any discussion of
MS Windows of *any*
version survive more than a day or so. Well, not since Mr. Erlacher
unsubbed.
True, I have a lot of faith in the self-policing nature of the people
here
:> And as an alternate datapointOfView, Mr. Erlacher did have some good
input at times!
I left out in my previous definition of "classic", the second word of the
list name - "Computing". So classic cars are not on-topic. Unless you want
to discuss interfacing an 11/40 to the engine, or the oddball microprocessor
in the car that is no longer in common use ;)
