> I think there's a confusion between the two definitions of classic. One implies simple age. In cars, anything older than 25 years old is considered a "classic". The other implies worth. We call things that are great "instant classics". So one person might consider something a classic in one sense, but not in another, or two people might disagree on the use of the label "classic" based on two different uses of the word.

This is exactly why I asked what definition you were using. I'd say my definition of "classic" is more to do with worth, but age definitely plays a part.

I think we'll need to agree to disagree on this one. :)
