I think the expression is....

What are you thinking!!!!!!

20 years.... That's funny.

So what 8088 based PC is currently repairable?  ( I think that is about

The limiting factor for me is still life expectancy. If I  
can be assured that it will be repairable for twenty years then all  
my concerns are met (note I did not say inexpensively repaired).  
However that combined with the rather alarming number of units which  
arrive dead or defective, has me hesitant to make the switch.
