   what's classic now?

   TZUTC: -0500   
   so it's 2021..   
      
   i dug up a IBM 365ED laptop, a modem, dialing up into this bulletin board that   
   I discovered is a FIDONET hub.. and here I am   
      
   while I think this is better in the DOS/WIN95 subs, but is this considered    
   classic?   
      
   I've been learning more and more about computer history, and im inrtigued how    
   much CP/M (and DOS) have borrowed fro the PDP-11, my minicomputer eperience    
   is next to nill with them having been largely abandoned in places where I    
   could play with them...   
      
   (save for a VT-100 terminal or an old teletype / printer that we used in CS    
   class)   
      
   cheers all
