from now. Mostly late 1980s.
A lot of reference and PC systems programming (TSRs,
device drivers, etc.
Mostly pre-Windoze.)
Anything on the PS/2 systems?
Flashlights?

clear out his house, and then will need the rivers Alpheus and Peneus
to be diverted through the Augean stables.
Might want to contact a local wizard.
