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.

Re: BBC Story on vintage tech
Interesting read.
Mind, I’m not sure a 13 year old MP3 player quite qualifies as “vintage” yet! |

Re: BBC Story on vintage tech
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.

Re: BBC Story on vintage tech
It's vintage the moment you find there is no warranty, no support and no service.
