Dunno, I haven't checked under the hood of a Ferrari lately. Have you?

I think you hit the nail on the head. My 1980s era Suns& DECs are alive

Tell that to my 35-year-old DEC systems that are still running great,
while the 386 box I had in 1991 turned to dust around 1998. ;)

You didn't spend enough. If you spent $9,000 on that 386 system in 1991
I
bet it would still be working. I have a Sun 386i here that works
perfectly and I could probably run over with my car and still boot up.
In fact, not sure my cheap car could climb over it. Probably just push
it down the road a ways.
