Vintage Mac software - needs new home
« on: January 19, 2007, 05:18:14 PM »
I have a small box of really old Mac software - I'd be happy to send it to anyone who wants it:

WordPerfect 3.0 - 6 floppies AND the User Guide (bonus!)

Microsoft Excel - 3 floppies (Version 1? No idea - says "for Apple Macintosh" and has no version number on it. If so, it's 22 years old!)

Random House Webster's Electronic Dictionary and Thesaurus, College Edition (12 floppies, from 1994)

A Guided Tour of the Macintosh (1984) - 1 floppy

Macintosh System Disk (1 floppy - dated 1984)

MacDraw 1.0 (two floppies - may be the same & MacDraw Guided Tour, 1984)

MacWrite & Mac Paint Guided Tour floppy (1984)

MacPaint (1 floppy, 1984)

Macintosh System and MacWrite, MacPaint (1 floppy, 1984)

Lotus Jazz - 2 floppies, for the Apple Macintosh 512 (it says), start-up disk and program disk (Hey, you can own one of the most expensive really BAAAD pieces of software ever written for the Mac!  http://www.atarimagazines.com/creative/v11...zz_Lotus_Ma.php Only $595 in 1984...or over $1K today)

Oh Parker....(your mother can't object too much to this - it fits inside a small shoebox!)

And there are no guarantees - I can't exactly try any of this stuff out!! tongue.gif

I believe that "Antiques Roadshow" is going to be in your area in the near future. I think that you should take your items there for an appraisal...    laugh.gif

Best of luck. We wound up tossing our older software in the trash when we moved.

LOL @ Mayo!

I think I'll quit my job and open a chain of Old Technology Homes where people can find a good place to retire their old equipment, software, vinyl records, 8 track tapes, etc.

I'll take real good care of the stuff and for a low fee. I'm gonna be a millionaire! :bulb:
