The classic example of this and a conter arguement is the BeeGee Racing
aircraft. It was considered a widowmaker, as it nearly or did kill most
of the pilots that flew it!. A replica was made and the plane has been
flying for several years at airshows and doing remarkable acrobatics...
guess what it hasn't killed the pilot. What was lost was that it took a
healty respect and some knowledge of design and flight to figure out that
it wasn't so much the plane as the pilots that were the problem and they
have learned about the flight characteristics of a plane that was deemed
unflyable. Not to mention seeing a piece of flying history debunked.
It was actually the profile of the wing is what caused pilots deaths,
after that they found that too experimenal so a different profile was
used instead when that BeeGee became more safer to have. I'm into
it, just reading up. :)

With some exception cars and place can be preserved
where some parts of
computers must be exercised or potentially fail. The other issue is
this may not even be a working example at this time.
Good idea to use them from
time to time to keep it happy.
Especially those capacitors.
It's one thing when it's the last one, another
when there are more to see.
True!
