… Ok now shove the hardware into it to do gigiabit eterhnet, SAN
supporting multi-tens of gigabyte disk arrays, and route 10 megabyte data
blocks from the the acquistion hardware to the graphics display devices and
display them in real time.
Same analogy — put your great-granpas Model T on the starting line at the
2001 Daytona. Yes the T will finish, probably without a failure.

I have a Macintosh SE that’s been running as an AppleTalk router (I have a
few Postscript printers, OK.). It has no UPS and only goes down when the
power fails. It is so old that the floppy drive no longer works. The
monochrome display is absolutely burned with the one image that it displays
continuously.
Nevertheless, the Macintosh SE box has continuously perfromed its intended
duties (except for power outages), unattended, for almost eight years.
Does that mean anything? I’m not sure it does…
(Although I made a lot of money off the Mac at one time…)
