Indeed; about a quarter of a century.  But runs fine and if it dies I 
have replacements which I can swap in.

I'm still using a Nokia 3330.  One of my children needs a mobile phone 
but not a smartphone.  I thought that I could pick up a used 3330 (or 
3310) cheap, but it isn't as easy as I thought---I should have picked up 
a few 3--4 years ago.  For less money than the 3330 can be found for 
used, one can by a new one, such as the 107.  Essentially the same 
functionality as the 3330, but more modern and so on.

But it's flimsy.  No way it would last 20 years, even if someone like 
myself (a careful user) was using it.

What new computer hardware today will still be running in 20 years?
