But I have seen systems that old online in the year 2008. The latest one was running on 15 year old Sun hardware. SunOS 2.6. It had been hacked. I found it because it was infected with stacheldracht... remember that? One of the first DDOS tools. And it was phoning home to a handler (they did not refer to them as 'controllers' back in 1999). You'd be surprised... especially in higher-ed IT environments. Research professors with Nobel Peace prizes in science have dusty, old research labs full of systems like this... and yes, they are online :)
