Tell that to my 35-year-old DEC systems that are still running great,

You didn't spend enough. If you spent $9,000 on that 386 system in 1991

bet it would still be working. I have a Sun 386i here that works

fact, not sure my cheap car could climb over it. Probably just push it down
the road a ways.
