VINTAGE?!?

They’re calling a watch that came out when I was a teenager, “vintage”.

Is it just me, or is the idea of “vintage” slowly creeping closer and closer to the present?

Or am I just nearing middle age and in denial?  (Not that I see why I would be, considering that recently I was considering middle age very unlikely and old age impossible.)

Also does anyone know where I can find online a manual (without viruses) for a:

Casio
950 Alt-6100
Stainless steel back
Water Resistant
Japan

The following are written across the front, some are buttons, some are not:

Alti-Thermo
Light [button]
Memory [button]
Twin Sensor
Mode [button]
Adjust [button]

I’ve got it set, with one or two alarms going, but I can’t remember how to tell how many alarms are on it, or a whole lot of other stuff.  (What do I mean I can’t remember? This was my dad’s watch, not mine, of course I don’t remember.) But seriously could use some help with this so-called “vintage” nineties watch.

I still remember how excited he was to get this for Christmas. He was big on backpacking and this gave him a lot of information he wanted for that.
