I have never posted anything under the "Conquests" section before, as I am always getting old Mac/Windows stuff, and it can become irritating posting everything I add into my collection.
Anyway, I was looking for software for my 1996 Thinkpad 365x (another story in itself), and my economics teacher advised me that there was a closet filled with "forgotten" Windows software (my school was/is predominantly IBM-based), which was located where the school's original computer lab used to be. After speaking to several teachers, I finally found the teacher who was teaching in that classroom (the lab was inside a room adjacent to it). During my 4th period spare, she unlocked the closet door, and there was a monsoon of Windows software/textbooks from the late 80s to the mid 90s. I currently have a Xerox box filled with software, which includes two shrink-wrapped Win 95 installation packages, a shrink-wrapped Win 3.1 installation package, an opened Win 3.1 package, Lotus 1-2-3, WordPerfect Presentations, a big package of Epson printer driver software still in its original shrink-wrap, IBM DOS 5.1, Lotus Jazz, etc. There was even a whole bunch of Novell server books, but they were of no interest to me.
I still have more stuff in my locker to pickup tomorrow, in addition to checking out a couple of other classrooms with "forgotten" software.
Here are some pics for those vintage Windows-lovers (like myself) out there:
