It's WAY worse than that. Under the simplistic 10 year rule, Windoze 95

Under the "coolness" principle, it might NEVER be on-topic.
I don't know about that, I've seen a couple of systems that might
squeak in under the "coolness" rule. One is those really tiny
Toshiba palm/lap-tops, the other was a model of IBM desktop.
OB_OT: Yesterday, I saw a Packard Bell running 95. I
didn't know that
they would last this long.
It's got to be a fluke. You know if you make enough of something, a
few have to have lasted this long. Another possible answer is that
it fell through a time warp :^)
