I kept all of my Leopard Apps in a folder called Mac Apps. After installing Snow Leopard, I still had that folder with all the old versions and all the new versions too.
Got a tip for us?

What do you mean new versions? You're saying you kept your apps in a separate folder from "Applications" why?😕
here's the problem
Yeah, I ordered Snow Leopard then I learn Friday that there will be NO
update for my Samsung Laser ML2010 or my Brother 3240C plus
Peralles will not be working anymore either. ...So, as soon as I get it
I am selling it.

The reason why that happened is that you moved the apps into a different folder (moved from Applications to Mac Apps). The Installer looks for the Applications folder, and since nothing was in it (or was gone), it reinstalled everything.
The Installer isn't going to look through your entire harddrive to find applications that shouldn't have been moved/renamed. I learned that before in a different circumstance.

Selling Snow Leopard or the stuff that doesn't work?
If you're going to sell Snow Leopard does that mean you'll never ever EVER upgrade your computer again because it won't support those legacy pieces of hardware?
Is this why you see those goofy people that still use an SE/30 and refuse to part with it at all? "What! This doesn't support all my old programs that I have stored on cassette tape! I ain't a upgradin!"
Because I had so many apps. They're all in the applications folder, I just made a sub-folder in it for "macapps" and one for " downloaded". Doesn't seem that unusual to me.
