There's no way old PCs can be termed "classic". Old, yes. Classic -
no.

It's like starting a newsgroup called rec.auto.classic and deciding it
is for discussion of old Skodas, rather than cars that really can be
termed "classic".

It will get bogged down with discussions over what's classic and
what's not

My IBM XT is classic.

My Zenith 8088 is not

Hi fuzzix!



I count in the TANDY PC as a Classic Computer as well. The mighty
Sinclair PC do also have the possibility, to connect it to an universal
TV-Set.
I like that.

We'd be better off setting up comp.sys.crisp-flavours -- er, on second
thoughts we've already got that one. :-)
