Some would say this is not vintage, classic or collectible (and so

Wouldn't have guessed to discuss an iMac

appropriate to discuss here or not,
wouldn't it just be easier (and fairer)
to define a certain number of years past
which it *is* appropriate? Or has
this already been stipulated?
By way of comparison, in my state
(Maryland), any car over 20 years is
considered "historic" as long as it's
pretty much a stock vehicle, or "street
rod" for cars over 25 that have been
substantially modified. Most cars
I've seen with historic plates obviously
qualify for the rank, but some are
pretty laughable -- old junkers clearly
just tagged as such to avoid inspection
requirements.
