And by "old", I mean really old.
As part of my computing refocussing to Win10, etc, and with some exceptions, I'm having a mahooosive sort out, and part of that is getting rid of old software.
These are mainly boxed profesional items that used to be hundreds of pounds each, and include 'proper' manuals ... that make a pile 8" to 12" high.
But OLD. Lots of databases, like dBase III / IV, DataEase, CAClipper, Paradox (DOS and Windows, IIRC). Other stuff too, including some for OS2. But mostly DOS of 8-bit Windows.
These are all legit, boxed, unregisteted and supplied for press review. Before I break them up and stick them in the recycling, which seems a waste, can anyone think of some productive method of disposal for ancient software?
But either way, they are going.,
Oh, and they are bulky and heavy and probably expensive to ship. I can't imagine even schools would be interested .... unless anyone knows better?
If nobody has ideas, rubbish dump it is.
