in the 80's. Of course, we no longer have to deal with floppies that get
corrupted often.
The most common failure I've had are the power supplies, they're still
as bad today as in the 80's.
Never had a power supply failure... But all my power supplies can handle
a lot more than they are used for.
The #0 failure I see is HD... :-( I have had the necessary disks die on
me in the last 20 years...
