I just hit 1000 hours on the same old test set and the number shocked me

I was doing a routine calibration on a nav system yesterday and pulled the service logs from our shop's main test unit. The thing has been running almost non-stop since we got it three years ago. The screen showed 1000.2 hours of total operation, which is a LOT of cycles for that specific model. It's a real workhorse, but seeing that exact four-digit number pop up made me realize how much we rely on it. Anyone else have a piece of gear that just quietly hit a huge milestone without you noticing?

Wait, three years straight? That's insane. Our shop's main unit would have needed a new power supply twice by now.

Imagine the data it's processed in that time.
