>>> I think that this just squeaks in as being on topic.

Granted, this is the on- and off-topic list, vs. cctech as frequently (and
recently!) noted here.  But having said that, and at the risk of starting
the you-know-what conversation, I * strongly * disagree with putting
"Pentium" (or anything newer than most computers based on a 286/386) into
the on-topicness of classiccmp.  I know this is supposed to be a vaguely
family-friendly list and all, but as for the fucking 10-year-rule, I say
let's fucking throw it away and never fucking bring it up again.
Chronological rules don't work because of Moore's Law.
