Question

What year did Apple start using term "vintage?"

I have been using apple computers since 93 and remember that term came at a certain point but I don't want to be wrong in case I write about it.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Just a few of the items I've bought that I can remember. I could have sworn their might have been printer but not sure so asking all of you:

LC 1993 with black and white portrait monitor

Quadra 1994

G3

iBook G3 14.1 still works to run system 9 and pre OS

Powerbook 2001 Titanium

iPod first generation

Cinema Display

G4

G5

Cinema Display HD

Apple TV first generation

iPhone first

iPad first generation

Mac Mini

iPhone

Airport first generation

Cinema Display HD23

iMac for mom 2008 tricked out

Mac Pro Early 2009 Quad Cor 2.93

Apple Cinema Display 30” (dead for years, probably brick, how to test? Nowhere on island. Apple doesn’t support their dealers with Jack. Must fly to Honolulu for Genuis)

Airport Extreme 2ond maybe third generation

MacBook Pro 15

MacBook Pro 17

another iPhone never again

MacBook Pro 13

MacBook Pro 15

Sorry if I didn't post in proper community, but didn't see a vintage community in my quickie eyeballing.

It's a bit more complex that that:

Vintage and obsolete products - Apple Support

The forum for support of the gear you listed is this one:

Older Hardware

Your PowerMac G4 or G5 with an ADC port (presuming you still have either) should have an ADC connector that would power that Apple cinema 30" display without the adapter/brick. That would tell you if it is working.
