I still have the original boxed sets for MS-DOS 5.0,
Novell DOS 7,
Windows 3.1, OS/2 Warp3 ... although I haven't run most of those in
years (the exception being MS-DOS in a ROMed incarnation inside a
HP200LX) and only touched the boxes when moving homes ... again.
Oh the HP200LX is a lovely little organizer. I still have mine, but
these days I use it as a portable VT100. It's excellent for that. I
bought the version of Stacker for it to squeeze out a few more bytes of
storage out of the PCMCIA flash card.
I'd use it as an organizer too, but I almost always have my MacBook with
me... I suppose I should go get a USB serial cable for it, but meh, I
enjoy the little HP200LX.
I bought that little guy back in my college days and it was very useful,
because I could take notes with it, and keep track of test/class
schedules, but also because it had Lotus 123 built in and that was
useful in the various science classes. Was far easier to setup a
spreadsheet with all the various problem types than sit there and do the
math individually. :-)
The only shrink wrapped software I still have is a copy of SunOS 4.1.x -
not gonna open it since I have the CD's from another copy elsewhere. I
don't think it's worth much, but who knows. Someone somewhere might be
willing to pay a lot for it someday, and if not, well it doesn't eat up
that much shelf space.
