Re: Re: age required for classic comp

I would consider a "classic computer" to be any computer which is, both
in
terms of hardware and software, quite different to what is running
today,
and is able to run old hardware and software which modern computers
cannot.
So I wouldn't consider my old desktop computer from 2009 "classic" as
its
not really that different to computers today, but the DOS PC's, which
can
run Windows 98, DOS, OPL3 midi and the like are, because they can do
things
new computers can't.
That is a pretty good definition.
Huh? What can new computers do that old computers can not? Also MIDI as a standard is still in use today...
