Estimated lifetime?

I was just wondering what the estimated lifetime of my neo geo AES hardware and games is like? I guess the electronics and roms will fail/corrupt at some point.. but i have no idea if thats likely to happen in 10, 50, 100 or ..... years? Anyone here have any clue what the expected lifetime of neo geo hardware and carts is ?

Longer than your lifetime... if you take care of it. Be careful when inserting and removing carts, the connectors in the Neo are the weakest link.

There was a big discussion about this a few months ago. Try using the forum search facility and you should be able to find it.
