HP once made printers that didn't just last years, but lasted for huge chunks of an entire century.

My office's HP LaserJet 1100 printed its first page in 1998, printed at least two pages every day, and finally printed its last page this morning before breaking. It printed for 26 years straight.

Twenty six years.

If I can't repair it, I'm putting it in a glass case with the last dated page it ever printed, for display in a museum. What a tank of a soho consumer electronics device!
