None of them, I don't refer to my 5yrs old Amiga as a retro machine (but will do so probably, sooner or later). I avoid talking about it as much as possible, I don't like having to explain to everyone what it is, why it's not a PC and why I use it, or even worse to have to defend myself when they argue that everyone uses a PC with Windows and that there's no sense in using anything else. I have my Amiga in my living room but everyone seeing it just think it's a PC and don't ask anything about it.
