How long will they last?

I was talking to a friend this weekend who brought
up this idea that before long EPROMs in our old
computers are going to start to go bad. This is
something I've heard before but, to be honest, I
don't know enough to make a judgement on it. If
this is the case, I suppose I should be burning
backups.

While I'm at it... What are some other concerns
along these lines. What should we be planning
for as these machines grow 5, 10, 15 years older?
