I would like opinions on where the line is drawn these days between Modern Collectible and Vintage Chips.
As we move through the years does the line move or does it stay static?
Cheers

think staying static is probably better and eventually having 3 categories
vintage
obsolete
modern

Just my 2 cents. I was looking for computer units annual sales worldwide and only found this bit info:

I would imagine the starting points were close to linear and then the curve becomes exponential and then approaches linear again in recent years. If you want a good way, the first linear region can be called vintage, exponential increase the obsolete and the recent linear modern or different names?!
On the other hand, from much harder to find remaining processors data, you can see how the remaining units are decaying away to decide if the processor has become vintage?! It's Friday night, relevant thoughts are not required, right? |

| As far as I am concerned it is a matter of perspective, and any definition in this context is simply a moving goalpost. |
