Yeah, I'm don't think there can be meaningful definition for "classic". I BBS
daily on a 1992 vintage Acorn computer - for the average person that is
*ancient* but I got jokingly retro-shamed the other day on a C64 board for
descrbing a 32 bit system with a mouse and 800x600 graphics "retro" let alone
"classic". 90s? Come and see me when you're on 70s kit!

Where does one draw the line? Something that's a nuisance to get up and
running? :)
