Up until last October. I was running an old router I had bought secondhand with a 1991 computer. The puter was still working fine when the router finally calved. Had a look inside and there was about an inch of dust and stuff from the router everywhere. Don't think many new machines would survive in the same conditions

Still using a 486 for some accounting.

When Gerber came out with their digitizing station, I bought their GDS I. It had a nice sized Sumagraphics tablet run by an AppleIIe. That system did not even have a hard drive. You started the machine, loaded the system software from a single floppy disk, then saved the job file onto another floppy disk. My next system was a 286 PC with a 20 meg hard drive. (That's meg, not gig).
