There is nothing sad about putting that liability/risk out of its misery.
Today is a day for celebration!

Just switched off our longest running server.
Built and brought into service in early 1997, it's been running 24/7 for
18 years and 10 months.

In its day, it was a reasonable machine - 200MHz Pentium, 32MB RAM, 4GB SCSI-2 drive.... and up until recently, it's still be doing its job fine. Hard drive finally started throwing errors, it was time to retire it before it gave up the ghost!
