Hi Patty,
One legal? source of old software is www.recycledsoftware.com, they
are in Las Vegas and you can dl a price list. I have never dealt with
them so use at your own risk. Their prices seem high for some things,
and maybe not so bad for others. It would be nice if MS wasn't so
greedy, and made obsolete software available to individuals at a realistic
price. Who can afford to pay $180 for an operating system for a $200
machine? I'm sure MS has recovered it's development cost for Win3.x and
Win95, and probably turned a profit.
