Well, my oldest Apple IIs are still chugging along 27 years later. I've got probably 100-150 antique computers and most of them are still working, barring some capacitors that blew this summer in a couple of Hyperions. As you say, though, lifetime warranties are meaningless really, with RAM anyway. No one keeps anything modern long enough to have it fail. The problem with old computers would be the ROMs I have heard and there are people out there saving those in order to continue using the older models. bm -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
