How long will Amigas last?

[commodorejohn]

All's I know is, I have/had machines from the early-mid '80s that have been (literally) thrown around by the primates at the recycle center, stored in moldy barns for fifteen or twenty years, and in one case even subjected to a garage fire, that worked just fine when I got them and were still going strong when I sold them on. On the other hand, the machines I bought new in the last eight years haven't lasted four without something significant failing, if not a total functional collapse. I'm not too worried about my Amiga just yet
