Oh, how I wish that were true. The company I work for builds computers used in the medical field. It's such a hassle getting a system certified for medical use the customers hang onto a design until we literally *can* *not* find parts. Most of our systems are comparable to a current PC, but we still build maybe a hundred units a month with floppies. The REAL pain in my butt is a customer who pulls old network cards with coax connections out of their dead/damaged systems & ship 'em to us so we can put them in their new systems. And believe it or not, just last week I tested 20 units built with a 386 CPU...

Sorry, just needed to vent...
