Anyway, it got me wondering. What's the oldest machine you've still got
doing an actual job,
I have many old systems but one doing an active job... Probably a c2000
laptop running MS WinXP which i use to program GALs for my retro projects.
and what's kept it there?
My reluctance to spend money to upgrade the programmer I have and trust
that the Linux software will be able to work...
I have also have an Ethernet switch thats about 30 years old that's still
in-use because if it aimt broke, don't fix it....
