Folks

Merry Christmas everyone.

In a recent issue of PC Authority (an Australian magazine) they were talking
about a warehouse full of collected antique computers.

They mention that even through they hadn't been plugged in for a while, the
machines were deteriorating because of decaying plastic insulation and also
capacitors that eventually corrode and damage circuits.

I got to thinking about my Newton. Any idea how long before the same things
start happening to my babies?

Warm regards
