I think that's better than extending the 'oldness' limit, as there are some
machines (like DEC Alphas, IBM RS/6000s, Sun or SGI workstations, etc)
that I'd consider as valid for this list (within the age constraint) as
compared to, say, a Commodore 64 or Amiga 1000.

Maybe the list
simply needs to take a firm non-Windows stance,
I would like to see a non Windows, PeeCee, DOS, or Linux stance. All of
these certainly are on topic for the list, but c'mon folks, there are
eighty million forums for these four topics, and just a few for old
computers.
