I’m seriously shocked your surface is still running. I’ve never seen one last more than a year, and they usually required a lot of troubleshooting to keep them going that long.

Funny. I have a buddy who bought his around the same time as I did. I remember talking about it. I saw him a month or so ago and he was still using his. He's got a ton of money (well paid, no kids) and in tech so I figured he would have at least upgraded, but he said there was no need.

Although I just looked it up and they have bad reliability ratings, which is surprising to me based on how good mine has been with decent usage.

Wow. You guys got lucky. All the users I supported with them had constant issues.
