foone , vor 2 Monaten Englisch We need a different word for "old computer parts" and "parts for old computers". People use "retro" for both. Like a Packard Bell 486 is the former: it was made in the 90s. And a PicoGUS is the later: it's an ISA card that can be used in computers from the 90s, but it was made recently.

jamie , vor 2 Monaten Englisch @foone I could go with "vintage" for parts made at the time the tech was new and "retro" for new stuff for an old tech. Mostly because "retro" means "to go back" in my mind.
