age limits for classic computers

set an age limit only (make it 15 or 20 years). It is quite fair to have someone email in and say they are trying to get old hardware running. There is no reason (other than personal) to restrict the list to topics as long as they do not include windows, PCs, DOS, or LINUX. It can be quite a challenge to get an old pc running as is ANY S100 based system. I have done both and I am quite willing to help anyone try and resolve issues on any machine I have experience with.

If you see a mesage that you can help on, then great. If you don't, then file it away or delete it. I really don't recall seeing any messages on here that were inappropriate for a vintage forum. If someone outside finds the list and emails a question that is for something newer, then delete it or respond with COURTESY directing them someplace else.

The discussion here over the topic has wasted substantialy more bandwidth then the few emails that come here that don't need to.

best regards, Steve Thatcher
