How many pcs have capacitors burning out because they are the wrong way around, or batteries puking their guts onto the motherboard, or wirewrap timing fixes, etc. etc. etc.
oh, wait actually I've seen all that myself, never mind. The oldest pc I have is a commodore pentium from 1995 or 96? still works fine 
this is true. I guess we just get used to peecee's being cycled through and discarded.
Its funny because I have an old laptop that had windows 98 on it, when a friend gave it to me. The screen is getting a bit fuzzy and there's some sort of issue with the one USB port in the back, but otherwise it works great
