Dwight,

Yes the MIL is one area where "If it ain't broken, don't fix it."

I saw mine in avionics and, believe it or not, 'new' cash registers...

I got the Fleet just in time to see our airborne mission computer
upgraded to a whopping 108K of core memory.  It took a licking and
kept on ticking (cat, trap, cat, trap ad infinitum) and restored
reliably (that non-volatile thing) when pwr glitched or was
interrrupted.  Now, the mag tape unit -- that was another story. The
cork lined brake band on the drive motor wasn't good for long at all.
