    Come to think of it, the only parts from my original system are
the ADB keyboard and its connector cable. You can tell my keyboard
has been in use 10 years, most of the keycaps have a smooth and
shiny finish to them :-) (though otherwise it looks new, I've taken 
it apart and cleaned it every couple of years). I have a brand-new
keyboard never taken out of its anti-static should this one fail
several years down the road, not too mention other odds and ends.
