I love how many of the comments here think this story is real, and not just the first article published by what appears to be a newly-launched satire tech news site inspired by The Onion. Follow the "prev page" links at the bottom for other articles, you won't be disappointed :)

It's a good site and I'm not disappointed.

But 6509 longevity is real and the best satire mirrors our real experiences.

Was there ever a gandalf 6509? Yeah. Probably 10,000 of them and many are 22 years old. My 22 year old gandalf/bilbo pair were actually VA Linux hosts. But no doubt lots of 6509s were so named.

And we miraculously see that site although “Jumbo frames don't work on the internet!” :)
