My main computer is from 2003 and still works fine. My notebook from 2008
obviously also still works (and I intend to use it until at least 2018 if it
keeps working), and in fact even my old laptop from 1998 still technically
works, too, I just stopped using it, and the evergrowing memory requirements
of software have a lot to do with that (as does the lack of care given to
drivers like s3virge).
