I purchased a 19" Nokia CRT in 1995-1996 and used it until about 2003.
Then I gave it to a friend and who used it up until last year. The only
reason he doesn't use it any more is because he got an LCD. It still
looked as good as when I got it.
CRT's and other computer equipment can certainly >last< 10 years.
Whether or not it's worth using after 10 years is another story.

Interesting point, the clients we have in service 10+ years are moslty X
Terms, so they are NOT PC hardware :)
Also, I never suggested monitors lasted for ten years, the question was
about thin clients.

With the older integrated Wyse's that had the monitor built in we had
all sorts of problems...bios, screen, etc. even had a few smoke and
catch fire...those were the days...with our WinXPe clients we have all
sorts of problems with power supplies 3 years out. You can't tell me
that any sort of PC hardware especially monitors lasts 10 years in a
business enviroment reliably..I'm not buying it.

Has anyone seen a situation where the Thin Client just stops

have seen Wyse terminals (3350s - I THINK) where they will start
failing,
with the symptoms being that they won't keep a connection. You
would think
being solid state that shouldn't happen...
