That’s about 3 times the span of your typical computer. That’s a biblical lifespan, like Moses and Noah.

Old enough.

Can I have that computer? Please??

I generally have to re-boot twice a day. But then I’m forced to use the latest PC OS…

Sounds about right. While looking for evidence of its birth date I stumbled across an old email listing its memory as 32mb.

Well, it’s exactly 10 Moore periods (18 months).
The Intel PENTIUM was introduced in 1993, with a
clock speed of about 60 MHz, to replace the 80486.
Microsoft Windows 3.1 roamed the earth. Solaris
had just emerged from the ooze.

Fifteen years is about what a medium sized dog will
last you,if you’re good and kind. I think computer
years are rather longer than dog years, and I’ll
guess that your SS10 is about 225 human years old.
