Does a computer become vintage after 10 years, 20 years etc.
The date that I personally set is 1995. After that point, computers ceased to be interesting and unique.
In 10 years time, someone will be saying 'The date that I personally set is 2005. After that point, computers ceased to be interesting and unique.'
With computers, the categories tend to revolve around major functionality or production changes (such as 8088/286/386/486 CPUs, systems with ISA, systems with real FDCs, etc).
The real question is when do cell phones become vintage?
