My speakers......had them since my first system (was whopping 75MHz). My old floppy finally took a dump on me & had to replace it last month :)

No question. My 17" Samsung 17gl(circa 1993). House hit by lightening in summer of 97' and the Samsung was only part not hurt. This thing just keeps trucking along. Next one will be 955DF. Soon I hope.

My Yamaha YST-M10 speakers. They're okay but I really need to upgrade them.

Nothing. This is a completely new everything mucho better system. (and it better last me for a looooooooong time) ;)

As for Komet, the oldest part in that one is the scanner interface card. Very dusty. Dunno why it is still in there up to this day. :confused:
