That certainly may be true. But I've never had to replace anything as a
result of this sort of thing. Not in sixteen years. My MacPlus is retired,
but AFAIK still functional. I expect that all that's happening is that the
design margin is being consumed. I don't doubt for a second that if you
have a power supply that's on the wrong end of the bell curve that you could
end up with a noticeably shorter lifetime.
