Since we're throwing around vague terminology, perhaps a definition of "running 
for over 20 years now" might be helpful.

Not sure I can make such claims, as there are things like maintenance, cleaning, 
power failure, moving, and such.  A couple of weeks ago we had a 2-day power 
outage.  Rare, but it happens.

So, have some of my systems, VAXstation 4000 Model 90A, DEC PC from 1998, 
AlphaServer 800 since (can't remember) been running for such extended times, or not?

Note, the itanic is not running, my ear plugs were not adequate ...
