collectors of software have no interest in the hardware side. I think
collecting software and associated manuals and books is a topic ready to
stand on its own, and be dug into with more depth than a general list might
be comfortable with. Also of course much of the collecting will be on
titles newer than 10 years. I have a lot of personal interest in software
around 5 years old that is needed to use computers of that era effectively
and at low cost.
I have been thinking about and looking for a list
like this one, except
instead of hardware collecting, it would be about collecting software. I
It's a while since anyone last posted the charter for this list, but
I'm sure that it doesn't discourage discussion of >10year software. I
though Classiccmp was about the entire "classic computing experience"
not just the hardware nitty gritty anyway?
