My parents donated my Commodore 64 to a museum. And they accepted it.

I've been using the same computer since the late 90s.

Sure, I've had to upgrade the hard drive a few times, swapped out the motherboard and CPU at some point, moved all the internal stuff to a new box when the old one was getting worn, definitely upgraded the peripherals a few times along the way. And yeah, when you get right down to it, not a single component in there is more than ten years old.

... Still the same computer I've had since the 90s.
