Second time of sending. A response, please.
While turning out my attic I unearthed obsolete *discs for a 1980s Amstrad
computer *which has long been disposed of. One disc is, as far as I know,
in mint condition but a further twelve contain programmes. Another six discs
contain long forgotten person data which I can't access. I am intrigued to
know what they contain. Also in my searches I have found a *Microsoft Works
manual* complete with system discs, and an *Amstrad user's manual*. Also
about a*dozen 5" discs* containing stock records of warehouse long
demolished. Again, I am curious to see what I recorded 30 years ago.
I am reluctant to consign these items to the dustbin if a) the discs can be
deciphered, and b) they are are of use to someone else. Your organisation
has been suggested as a possible home for at least some of these items. Are
they of interest? If not, do you know any organisation that might be?

Are you actually on the mailing list, Bob? Your mail provoked a whole
thread and there have been many helpful responses, including from me.
You need to join the list to participate.
