The same friend from whom I inherited the laptops left me in charge of
disposing of his personal property. (Fortunately, I am NOT executor of
his estate!)
He had a whole lot of software, some factory sealed (just one example
is a copy of IBM DOS 5.0 still in cellophane), and at least as many
books about various programs. The books are about Windows 95 (sorry
for the bad language <g>), Quattro Pro, WordPerfect, and that ilk.
I've heard of some of the software he has copies of, others not.
I'm sure this has zero monetary value. Does it have any historical
value? Is there any person or organization, either on- or off campus
who might want this? I'm thinking historical value, if any, would lie
in the software, not the books. I'm sure the Library of Congress has
the books should anyone want to see them for research purposes.
If not, it's all going to the dumpster, probably by the end of July.
I haven't seen anything related to Linux/Unix, but I've only scratched
the surface. This was someone who collected everything on a large scale.
Thanks for any light you can shed.
Howard
