Let me make you old. The following things happened 30 years ago, give or take a few weeks: * H W Bush meets with Yeltsin, Cold War officially declared over. * The EU was officially formed. * Ukraine and four other nations in the Commonwealth of Independent States reject Russia's proposal to maintain unified armed forces. * Dahmer sentenced to 15 terms of life in prison 20 years ago, NASA began mapping the surface of Mars and the Sierra Leone Civil War came to a close. 20/30 years is around the line where "Vintage" starts to come into play. PowerPC Macs are on the edge of "Vintage" but their mid-90s Motorola68k based versions are definitely there.

Mac OS X Tiger looks fairly modem and a G4 with OpenBSD for macppc it's still usable enough for lots of environments.

> The EU was officially formed. EU existed from some time.

  It's predecessors like the EEC were set up in the fifties post WWII, but yes the European Union was only established in 1992 with the Maastricht Treaty.

    Spain joined EEC at 1986, I consider that a pre-EU.

You’re listing off that that’s 30 years ago yet we are talking about 20 years ago, and barely 20 years at that. The difference between 20 and 30 is pretty significant (it’s literally 50% more).
