I wasn't sure where to post this, but thought the PowerPC community might be the best place.
We are in the process of shutting down our business and cleaning out the office. I think we've kept every piece of software purchased over the last 30 plus years as well as some classic hardware. So, looking at the shelves full of software, I'm wondering if we should just toss it all out or if there are folks out there who might want it. Some of it is probably 68K software on floppys, but there's a lot of PowerPC and Intel stuff as well. It's mostly Adobe/Aldus/Macromedia, but some word processors and various system utilities (Suitcase, Ram Doubler, Disk Doubler, Toast, Screensavers, etc.). Most are in the original boxes with the manuals, but a bit dusty.
Quite shockingly, I also dusted off an old Power Book 520 and it booted up off of the original hard drive. It was pretty lightly used in its day and has just been in a closet for decades, but I'm amazed the drive still works.
Any thoughts on what we should do with all the software? Throwing it all out would be the most time efficient, but I kind of hate to do that if any of it could find a good home.
Thanks
