And I can hear the laughter in advance if anyone asks for the schematic for the box

Yeah, it's getting that way. Heck, I'm the neighborhood "geek squad" when it comes to computers and XP and even police scanners. One lady here with XP got somebody in India when she had problems, she gave up and called me to fix it and I did. I think those converter boxes will last a long time like anything else if you take care of them although like anything else, you can get one that's a lemon. This box I'm using now, a Pentium II, 400 MHz is running XP Pro right now but if it goes, I'm back to Windows 98 I think 98 Second Edition was fine although they could stop at XP and I'd be happy with that too.
