There are classifications for collector cars. Vintage Car: Manufactured between 1919 and 1930 Antique Car: Manufactured 1975 or earlier (>45 years old) Classic Car: Manufactured 1990 or earlier (>20 years old) Maybe this can be applied, to some degree, to computers as well.
This has been discussed many, many times over the years. I don't think it can be applied, because computers vary a whole lot more than cars. If we were saying "home computers", maybe yes. But computers in general, no way. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
