This would
apply, say, to a G5 being brought up on this list because you can
still get parts and service from Apple, and many are still under warranty.
However, I don't think this would be applicable to a 604 where Apple says,
"good luck, those were fun, weren't they?"
Besides, the metaphor breaks down fast. A 1985 Mitsubishi wouldn't be too
popular on that list either, but we talk about Commodore 128s, for example.
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."
