Which was not an enormous > amount of money, so even more impressive that the system lasted 18 years = :) >=20 The physical hardware did not last this long, and I do not recall the physical specs of the recently deprecated hardware, but as far as "handling this task for 18 years", that could have been clarified a bit more (my fault). The system moved chassis several times, but was never reinstalled (as far as we can tell) - it was originally a FreeBSD 2-STABLE install, and was upgraded constantly throughout its lifetime, and finally ran 11-CURRENT before being decommissioned.
