OT anecdata, but I know a few ophthalmologists, and they all sport glasses.

There must be a reason.

lol.  My dentist keeps telling me to stop drinking sugary soft drinks.  I tell him that I will as soon as his three assistants don't have one at their desk.

I wonder how SSDs hold up over time. I guess only time will tell. 10 years old SSDs at this point in time were earlier models. I'm not determined to keep my computer equipment for something like 20 years, so in that regard, it doesn't matter as much (to me). Guess what I tried to say, if it works, great, if not, well...

Though this whole computer (bought in 2009) is holding up pretty well compared to the 1st from the late 90s (1997 I think) and the 2nd one from 2001.

Corrected hardware error on AMD Northbridge is reported on every boot and resuming from hibernation though for several years now, no idea when it even started. Kinda like a permanent CHECK light on the old 2001 VW Polo, which still ran reliably for several years, until it didn't.
