    Cars last about 15 years. They can last 50, or 5. When you replace them depends on the economics of keeping them running. When you can't get service techs, and parts shoot up in price, you figure out how to migrate to and finance a less expensive car.

    If your local police department was running a fleet of 30 year old Ford LTD Crown Vics you would rightfully question the economics. And (possibly) rightfully decide to keep them running.

    Lotus Notes is nearly 30 years old, though its architecture dates to the early 70s.
