It is an easy, fully objective
parameter for OLD machines, not for
"classic" machines, which is subjective.
If you want to create a separate list,
where that is the criterion, DO SO.
I will be happy to subscribe to it.
I inherited my mother's Win95
"e-machine", with all the stickers on
it; who wants it? I have plenty of
old machines, many of which are not
classic.
But age is explicitly NOT part of the
criteria on THIS list.
That battle has been fought!.
I fully get the distinction between --
for instance -- a classic Ford Mustang
and a classic Ford Pinto.
Everyone agrees, the Mustangs are
classic, but there *are* people who are
into Pintos.
