We're not talking about months so much as years. They barely used that computer for anything, except routing stuff. The closest thing I've seen is "taskbar burn" on a crap office monitor that had been running win95/98 for ages.
There's another funny story about that computer. I remember a LAN party we had where half-life wouldn't run on most of our PCs. Executable had been modified by a virus, and so it refused to start (nice feature, that!). After the scan and disinfect orgy, we tried scanning the router. Thing had well over 40K infected files, from over a dozen different viruses.
It was so virusified that we had to scan it over the network. In fact, I think 40K wasn't the actual number of infected files. We just got sick of tying up one guy's computer with scanning duty, and the owner of the router had long since given up hope for anything other than a reformat.
