Not an ancient computer, but what about an ancient operating system? The software for one of the mass specs I operate runs under OS/2 Warp 3 fixpack 32 (or earlier). There will never be an upgrade. Eventually the OS may not run on new hardware and so I will have to put it in a virtual machine. In the meanwhile I have a stock of old machines (and dot matrix printers) under my spare desk. Although the OS lacks any bells and whistles it is rock solid, but the software has a memory leak which requires a reboot every few days to avoid lockups.
