Yeah, I'm don't think there can be meaningful definition for "classic". I BBS daily on a 1992 vintage Acorn computer - for the average person that is *ancient* but I got jokingly retro-shamed the other day on a C64 board for descrbing a 32 bit system with a mouse and 800x600 graphics "retro" let alone "classic". 90s? Come and see me when you're on 70s kit!

Where does one draw the line? Something that's a nuisance to get up and running? :)
