10 year rule

[Computer Collector E-Mail Newsletter]

The terms are too similar, people will just get more confused.

All I intended to do when I started this discussion topic was to point out the
obsurdity of considering things like the Web and Pentiums as "vintage" (or any
other synonym).  But then others observed back that I was being short-sighted
-- if you ignore that actual age, "vintage" just means "anything considered
obsolete by the mainstream," and that's a good enough answer for me.  But I do
think that 15 years, not 10, is a better divider between what's just "old" and
what's truly vintage.
