It doesn't show any signs of deterioration or aging (display bleedig, dry capacitors, keyboard malfunctions, etc.) so I'd say it will last at least 10-20 additional years if properly kept.I read about this kind of guessing (based only on how long something has been in existence already) in the german edition of the Scientific American, but cannot remember how it works. Can you give me a hint? I may have read something similar... I think it's this: Quote:The Lindy effect is a concept that the future life expectancy of some non-perishable things like a technology or an idea is proportional to their current age, so that every additional period of survival implies a longer remaining life expectancy- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_effect |
