I agree. Anything that is doing a satisfactory job can not be obsolete.
At my job I have a system controlled by an old 80286 that so far has been
collecting ionospheric data for over 11 years (one solar cycle). It will
stay in operation for another 2-3 years! The idea is to have a very stable
setup of the experiment for the entire period. And the only way of having
this is to keep the equipment, not to "improve" things!
The same goes for our BBS SK5AS. It is run on an very old Nokia Deskside
Server. And during the last few years it has never stopped because of the
computer or associated equipment!
