It was thus said that the Great Chris via cctalk once stated: > I just don't remember anyone declaring this to be an 8-bit list. Back > when I was a member no one said pc stuff was off topic. Which is why I > asked. And wasn't aware JW didn't own or run tne list anymore.
One rule I remember (from the early 2000s) is that anything 10 years or older is on-topic. At that point, it was pretty much stuff up to around 1990 or there abouts. I personally feel that MS-DOS is fine, and even Windows up through 2.x is okay, but Windows 3 or higher is probably not a fit for this list (aka, anything Wintel is not fine). As far as 1990 goes, that is now 30 years ago (nearly 33 in fact). The SGI I used in 1992 is probably on topic (as it was never mainstream, but a cool machine nonetheless), but not a PC from 1992. -spc
