   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.
