Do you guys ever come across older technical software for the PC or Mac? Over the last few
years I have found copies of some cad software along with mathematics, MathCAD, and a few
other goodies for my 68k macs. I was wondering how common that kind of software is and
what kind of places would have it.

I find this kind of stuff all the time. In fact, I went to a place a few
days ago and found three large boxs of software. I picked up a COMPLETE
package of WordPerfect 5 and a set of service manuals for the HP LaserJet
4xx printers. I've had GOOD luck finding stuff in scrap places and can get
stuff like this for almost nothing. (That's exactly what these cost). It
also turns up in surplus stores but they frequently want you to PAY for the
stuff :-/ That takes all the fun out of scrounging!

Most of my Apple and Mac software is games and stuff for kids. I have boxes
and boxes of it. The PC stuff is mostly spreadsheet and Wordstar type. I
must say though that for virtually every computer I have, there is some
software. Not really sure what the point of the discussion is but in the
hardware/softare/manual triumverate, my choice would be manuals first,
software second and hardware third. Second and third aren't much good
without the first. Yet it seems that the paper/disc things are thrown out
first, hardware last.
