On alt.sys.pdp11 it was recently claimed:
Lack of use speeds up deterioration of things like
capacitors
(especially electrolytics).
Now I know that capacitors tend to the component most likely to fail
on a piece of vintage equipment, but this is the first time I recall
seeing it claimed that lack of use accelerates deterioriation of
capacitors.
