One of the things I picked up (at TRW!) a few years
ago was a shrink-wrapped
copy of IBM PC-DOS 1.1 w/ Graphics. I have had the urge to open it up, but
I
haven't yet and really don't plan to open it.
The main reason for opening
it
is curiousity as to what was included in the package.
I have no intentions
of using it, and somewhere I have another DOS 1.1 system disk that I can
play with if so inclined.
My general rule of thumb is leave it shrinkwrapped until a *compelling*
reason comes along to actually open the package.
I agree. i actually found wrapped packages of OS/2 versions 1.1 and 1.3
cheap. I opened the 1.3 version only to install it on an old 286to see what
it was like.
