Today I picked up two decent size boxes of software. Some loose disks (including incomplete sets,) some full boxed (Kings Quest 5!) Mostly DOS/Windows, but some Mac, and even a couple Commodore 64! Mostly 3.5", but some of the DOS/Windows (plus, obviously the C64) on 5.25".
Haven't done a full cataloging, but plenty of Sierra games (The Black Cauldron, woo!) and lots of programming tools (an old Borland Pascal for DOS.) A boxed copy of Word Perfect 4, and a couple boxed copies of MS-DOS and Windows.
Tomorrow I'll be going back for the hardware, which is said to include at least two compact Macs from "earlier than 1989", plus some Mac II-series, and some Quadras and early Power Macs.
And this was a true 'liberation', as all of it was quite literally headed for the dumpster. (If I had arrived half an hour later, the disks would have already been in the dumpster.) He also has a few things that he wants money for, like a set of three HP 110 notebooks, and a boxed copy of Windows 1.0!
