Desqview is clearly on-topic, see my previous post :>

Because they fit the definition I gave (or more specifically, that the 
dictionary gave). They are generally considered classic :)

True, I have a lot of faith in the self-policing nature of the people here 
:> And as an alternate datapointOfView, Mr. Erlacher did have some good 
input at times!

I left out in my previous definition of "classic", the second word of the 
list name - "Computing". So classic cars are not on-topic. Unless you want 
to discuss interfacing an 11/40 to the engine, or the oddball microprocessor 
in the car that is no longer in common use ;)
