Personally I vote for common sense - it means (pulling numbers out of the air
for a moment :-) that 95% of posts are *definitely* on-topic, and the other 5%
come down to what the original author thinks is 'cool' or not. I think that's
a great signal to noise ratio, given that the notion of 'cool' for any
particular system will likely be shared by a fair proportion of the list members.

Actually,
I'd prefer a much easier metric: if it's a computing device of
some sort, and it isn't made anymore, it should be on topic.
I think this is probably the most logical of the rules that have been
discussed, and covers many "neat" devices as well that wouldn't slide
under
the 10-year rule. I vote for this one.
