Non of the standard use media is all that hard to find, just not off the
shelf at Office Depot. I thought it might be at one time, but now that I
have a pile of media it has no real "ebay" value, ie thousands of other
people have stockpiles that from time to time get sold off, supply exceeds
demand etc.
I don't think a school still exists where they could or would pay even
postage for A2 software, most are bound with sweetheart deals that
effectively make some local vendor the only one they can use. The only real
chance of stuff ending up in school is when a teacher or volunteer pays for
it out of pocket.
BTW Do the online software archives (Asmov?) have pretty much all of the A2
software, or is a lot of stuff still missing?
