So is the International space station, Hubble telescope and all of the Nimitz class aircraft carriers to name but few. Tried and tested. Space Shuttles ran on 386s for a long while because they could do all that was required and are still perfectly serviceable. FYI the MFU/DMD in the Leopard 2A6 is from 2006 and still has features no other board does 9 years later. It's swings and roundabouts, old doesn't mean bad. If that was the case why do some brand new drone designs use jet engines designed in the 50s? Why does Martin Baker test it's ejection seats in probably the worlds only and oldest compressor jet engine powered aircraft?
