I'm of the mind that most computers dating back to at least 1995 have been pretty reliable. The hardware wasn't causing most of the problems people experienced. I'm talking Windows systems. Lots of headaches. The software (operating systems) were buggy. 3.1....95...98...ME...XP...Vista. It wasn't until Windows 7 that a Windows operating system proved to be almost as reliable as an Apple system. Microsoft took a while, but eventually they've put together less buggy operating systems. I go way back on the Computer Learning thread, and although most computer users are a lot more savvy now than they were (as a whole) in the mid 1990's, the software glitches were also much more common back then. A lot of those software bugs probably ended the lifespan of a lot of machines well before their time.
