Well, I guess I'm one of the three.  When we first got our 950 (now a 960) in
late 1988, it went through *two* power supplies.  Naturally, *nothing* with the
main box has failed since (a couple of disc drives croaked, but that's another
story).  In the meantime, I've lost track of the number of PCs I've gone through
... the one exception being an HP 150, which I've had since 1984 (I think).
Still works fine, although it sounds like it's running on only three cylinders
...
