On a related note, older technology is less sensible. My old VAX VLC4000
from 1991 which received a small heatsink in exchange for its noisy fans
is still doing well in an closed place. I'm more worried for the EPROMs
which store the boot code. Also, I think that the RS6000 processed at
half-micron which run the Mars rovers might run for hundreds of years
at 30 MHz.

Not your typical RS/6000.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAD6000

Without a doubt, decently built computers will easily last at least 10
years.  From what I can tell, the issue here was simply OS runtime?
