Frankly, I think the reason for my ANS' extreme longevity is that, other than power outages and moving, it's never been powered down and the disk is always spinning.
This probably also explains my IIci's long life as well; it sits there with NetBSD, a 1GB SCSI drive and 128MB of RAM, and hums along serving DNS and AppleTalk. Other than chewing through a cache card every few years, it maintains ridiculous uptime:
