The 1911 is newer than that... It was first manufactured in 1912. All kidding aside it is as fine a piece of machinery now as it was then.
I run a raid array served up by OpenVMS via SMB. The server has not been re-booted in a year. No wait I'm wrong not quite a year==> "OpenVMS V7.3-2 on node EISVM1 11-JUL-2018 11:55:06.83 Uptime 254 06:27:50". As the virus Nazi says "No crypto locker for you OpenVMS". I waste 2 hours that I never get back every 2 weeks to re-boot my Win 10 host, VMs and Mac to keep everything running fast. It seems that VMS and non-Mac Linux are by far more stable and don't need re-boots nearly as often. I like new tech but I don't dismiss old tech out-of-hand. I would feel much safer if the FAA airport control towers were still running DOS, Win 3.1 or preferably some custom OS on custom HW served up by IBM mainframes using leased private com lines rather than any Windows system connected to the internet. There's a good idea, connect airport control towers to the internet, can't see anything going wrong there. The landfills are filled with millions of Pentium PCs that could be running tons of useful apps. But no, the world went to bloated OSs(started with XP SP3) that obsoleted the HW and not only created another environmental disaster in the landfills(euphemism for un-regulated garbage dump) but also all the energy needed to manufacture and deliver new PCs.
