Default BBC Story on vintage tech

Note sure whether this should be in modern or vintage tech, bit it's an interesting read all the same.

Interesting read.

Mind, I’m not sure a 13 year old MP3 player quite qualifies as “vintage” yet!

Depends on the speed of change, I'd say.

With modern tech ‘vintage’ is the the thing you bought brand new last week.

A 1997 Psion? That’s not Stone Age, more like Pre-Cambrian!

Anyway hats off to the man. I like his style.

It's vintage the moment you find there is no warranty, no support and no service.
