   I guess that definition makes me classic!   
      
   For the purposes for this echo, I define "classic" as any system that is not    
   being currently manufactured in its original form.  I don't count things like    
   hobbyists recreating their favorite system (like the Color Comnputer clones),    
   emulators, and the like against my definition.   
      
   Personally, anything older than a Pentium-class system is "classic".  I own    
   and use a Timex/Sinclair 1000 with a 16K RAM cartridge pack.  My CoCo 2 was    
   stolen decades ago but I use the ovcc emulator    
   (https://github.com/WallyZambotti/OVCC) to tinker with my CoCo programs.   
      
   So yeah, a definition of "classic" computers is a moving target but the above    
   is what I use for this echo.   
      
   I enjoy reading about the variety of systems people still use today.
