Earlier this year, I fired up my Mac II, acquired in the fall of 1988, and probably last powered up sometime around 1996. It still knew the accurate time and date. (Okay, it was off by an hour and a half or so -- partly because of clock drift, partly because they'd changed the rules about Daylight Saving Time in the interim.)
Unfortunately, the hard drive failed after half an hour or so of uptime -- taking with it what was apparently the last known copy of A/UX 1.1.1.
