Aside from churning out new OS revisions, some profit might be had
from looking at current examples of old systems that, in spite of the
status quo, have somehow managed to survive, in daily practical use,
and without the benefits of a re-install.
After all, with penicillin growing on stale bread, who knows what
accidental benefits can be created by continually recovering from
random errors over a length of time..........
This was always an informative aspect of hardware product development
- getting some ancient and field returns that had been ridden hard and
put away wet, to pore over (usually in your spare time, though, I'll
admit).
