In my near two decades of involvement with The Community, this is possibly the most asinine statement that I have EVER read on this forum.

~What-? ... let's see the 15C was introduced in 1982! The first space shuttle flight was in 1981. In 1982 Ronald Reagan was in his 2nd year of his first term as President of the United States. The IBM PC was one year old. The iron curtain was still UP. I was still a field engineer with IBM and EVERYONE used Selectric typewriters! The Chernobyl accident had not occurred (1986).

The 15C is 33 years old. Dude, what do you think words like 'nostalgic,' 'by-gone era,' and 'relic' mean?

I know, I feel your pain... because those words apply to some of 'us' too.
