Hi Csabo,
A package, which is 20+ old is not ancient, because it is still part of our culture. Its just old.
Call it "Paleology" ("paleos" is also greek and means old) but when you reincarnate in 1000 years and nobody works with bit based-computers any more an you discover an old cave with a staple Infocom boxes in it, thats archaic, then call it Archeology ("archaios" means exactly that).
You all should know the meanings of the words. And not just use them, because ithey sound good and important
Of course i respekt the hobby of this guy here, because i also collect plus/4 games and software. But please don't make a science of it and don't play the professor of your university, dear collector.
But thats not the point. I just don't like the ironic and arrogant way of that guy. So i had to express it. Sorry if i made bad mood here.
