I guess that definition makes me classic!

For the purposes for this echo, I define "classic" as any system that is not 
being currently manufactured in its original form.  I don't count things like 
hobbyists recreating their favorite system (like the Color Comnputer clones), 
emulators, and the like against my definition.

Personally, anything older than a Pentium-class system is "classic".  I own 
and use a Timex/Sinclair 1000 with a 16K RAM cartridge pack.  My CoCo 2 was 
stolen decades ago but I use the ovcc emulator 
(https://github.com/WallyZambotti/OVCC) to tinker with my CoCo programs.

So yeah, a definition of "classic" computers is a moving target but the above 
is what I use for this echo.

I enjoy reading about the variety of systems people still use today.
