A function of age VI

How old does something have to be before it's an antique?  Some local radio talk show hosts debated this recently.  One of them uses 20 or more years old as his definition.  Another host read that something generally isn't considered an antique unless it's at least 100 years old.  If it's relatively old but not a century old yet, it supposedly qualifies as vintage.

I like that.  I enjoy having vintage taste in music, sharing vintage memories with those who appreciate them, and at 52, being vintage myself.

To me, vintage is a polite term for old--and that suits me.
