Having early software with the original manual and
packaging will be a
critical part of any collection in the future as it adds breadth to
systems in the collection.
This is a valid point. A computer sitting in a musuem with software and
manuals around it is a lot more interesting than just the computer sitting
there. Especially if it's a non-functional example of the system.
