Does anyone on this list collect software, and if so,
what is considered
desireable software to collect?
On a similar note, is there any value to collecting software for the Apple
II series or the C-64 series of computers? It seems like that type of
software is almost throwaway (and that is a shame.)
If I find software I usually grab it. Of course around here you rarely
find any, and I've had better luck finding 8" CP/M stuff than I've had
finding
Apple // or C-64 stuff. Of course I've dug up tons of Amiga software, but
then a lot of it I've gotten new since I got my first Amiga a little over a
year ago.
I look at it this way, what good is the hardware if you don't have at least
one piece of software to run on it. Of course OS's are what I really like
:^) Who needs some lame application or game when you've got a really cool
OS :^) The perfect example, OS/2 is a seriously cool OS, but every app I
ever bought was seriously lame.
