You mean you collect these things? Wow, I didn't know that they were considered that quaint! To be honest, the whole ROM issue is one that I'd question. There are no doubt a number of issues regarding their lifespan, but many seem to proven false. For instance, I own an Apple II+, manufacture date January, 1980. It boots just fine. The oldest Mac-type machine here where I work is a Lisa... and it too still boots and was in regular use up until a couple years ago! In the end, it's how you treat them. To use the old ranch sayin' "ridden hard and put away wet" might not be the way to go... but there are times when my old Plus is treated in that exact manner. Somehow, it just doesn't want to die!
