Very well said; I don't think that any of us can argue with that.

No. It seems like they were introduced only a few years ago; heck, it
can't have been that long since I first read the article in Popular
Electronics about the details of the features of the Commodore 64.
They're all far newer than my car, so they can't be that old.
Hmmmm... actually, my PDP-8/e is about the same age as my car. More
proof that our classic computers may be vintage systems, but they're
not old. ;-)
