Earliest thing I have is from July 1997, which probably doesn't put
me in the top thirty. But I've enjoyed the group enormously anyway.
Re: charter mods:
I love being able to ask about my NeXT on here, so 10 years
is a nice number for me. 15 would be OK, I guess.
I do think there is value to questions on how to run new
software on old (>10 year) hardware.

I suspect there are very few "how do I fix my PC" annoying
questioners who are using *either* hardware *or* software more than
10 years old.
My vote is to keep the 10-year limit [1], and clarify it to
make clear that if either the software running or the hardware it's
running on makes the 10-year limit, it qualifies.

quality time with....it's pretty fresh-on.
