Rhetorical: As you know "Real Old" to some people is just another way of
saying obsolete
or ancient. For instance, personally I consider an old PC
to be 5 to 10 years old. A 20 year old PC I would call a "classic".
Any PC older than 20 years is an antique. These days with new CPUs
released once every 6 months to a year I'd doubt that most
people would keep a PC longer than 5 years.
I do agree with you that anything that exists
is real no matter if its old or new. So I won't use the word "Real" in
conjunction
with "Old" and just use old because if you can touch it then it is indeed
real of course ;)

It takes a while for drivers to go thru the MSFT Hardware
Compatibility check & some manufacturers don't even bother with this
but rather tell their customers to click OK when they get that screen
that indicates the driver is not yet certified by MSFT.
So what is "real old"? To Bill Hatcher it might be something
different than it is to Wayne or to Marc. OBTW when something
becomes old does it ever become unreal? As far as I knew anything
that exists is real whether it's old or not.
