My DEC PWS 433au is right at about 10 years and gets continuous use.
It runs 24x365, and has for the last 6 years. A lot of people have
VAXen that they been using for 10+ years (if not 20+), same with
PDP-11's. In the DEC world 10+ years isn't so much unusual, as the
norm. Some DEC systems have been in continuous use for 30+ years.

Personally, I don't think continuous duty at
all for anything >10y-o.
I do my best work on my IBM 5160; it has gotten continuous use for
nearly two decades.
