Re: "When is retro computing?"

In: s/retrocomputing

@istvan, that sounds like a whole other level of incompetence. I could see it if it was compiled COBOL with no source, but Java is pretty modern. Writing a modem emulation layer is a couple of hours of work...

When is retro computing? — Ubuntu is going to be 20 years old this year and that makes me wonder how old a computer and it's operating system has to be to be considered retro? For me, Windows 2000 is retro but wind XP is not. Also any mac using PowerPC or m68k is retro to me. (The podcast Linux After Dark just did a episode on trying to run warty warthog 4.10 and compare it to the next LTS, 24.04)
