Vintage Cars or Motorcycles are clearly defined by the Age. pre war manufactured vehicles are considered as Vintage, most of the postwar vehicles are Oldtimers; but on Computers ? there is only very view pre war.
The Punch Card Reader was invented during the 1920ies (ist that to consider as Computer?) The Germans made the ENIGMA coding machine wich was an elktromechanical machine but not a Computer (or was it?)
The british Counter intelligence invited a machine to decipher the enigma code. That could be seen as an early (Vintage Computer). Conrad Zuse was working on a machine wich later became the Z-80 (Z stands for Zuse) can this be considers as Vintage? I think vintage is a term used by enthusiast's who love theire Computers wich are simply out of date
