How many other things did you have that broke? Oh, you probably don't remember them because they weren't around very long and don't evoke strong happy memories.

You can't rebut an argument about lack of data and selective memory with anecdotes.

Nope. I have kept every computer I've owned ever since the ZX81. And none of them has broken. Perhaps I'm lucky... But chips used to be rated to last 25 years, and by the time I left the semiconductor industry it was down to 5. Why? Yield. But I'm sure you've worked on chip design and have more experience on this topic than I do...
