I'm not so sure about that. In this case, the warranty has long been
expired, yet the power supply merrily chugs along. (I bought it in

David, I was referring to devices built after the massive capacitor failure
in late 2002. After that people no longer expected indefinite life out of

That's why there are many Pentuim III and equivalent computers still in use
and almost no Pentium IV slightly newer ones.
