My CRT TV set is easily 15+ years old; why replace it?  The server I am 
using right now is a Compaq Evo, likely 15 years old and going strong 
(the disk was made on 4th Oct 2002, with no errors).  Its attached printer 
is an Epson DP-100; they came with the CP/M Microbee, which was popular in 
Australia in the 80s (the 'Bee still works too, as does its amber-screen 
monitor).  The LCD monitor for said ancient server was manufactured in Sep 
2005; I bought it from the Salvation Army for $10.  monster CRT monitor 
that it replaced (and I still have it as a spare) was made in Sep 2002.

My MacBook says it's a late 2009 model, so is a mere youngster (the only 
replacement was a battery - used, of course).

What was the OP saying again?
