How can you say unfortunately, what other piece of computer equipment can
you think of that is actually in use from the early 70s?  I do know of a
college environmental control systm that is running on some kind of mini,
and the 15" hard drive has been spinning since the 70's, I'm just waiting
for that one to get powered down somehow, to see if it will fly again. 
Just think about it, riding on an air bubble for 20+ years.

Just for fun, when was everybody born?
