Collecting Abandonware Operating Systems and Compilers

Post Reply New Topic

I know collecting is a very autistic trait, and I haven't talked about my autistic traits enough for a while. Anyway, for some reason, I collect abandonware operating systems and compilers. I have MS-DOS 6.22, Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.51, Microsoft Macro Assembler 6.11, Borland Turbo Assembler 5, Microsoft C/C++ Professional Development System 7, Microsoft Visual C++ 1.02, Microsoft QuickBasic 4.5, Microsoft Basic Professional Development System 7, PC DOS 2000, Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 Professional Edition, etc. I don't use any of these obsolete technologies; but I have them, nevertheless. I am a bit curious about the history of the personal computer, but that's it.

Where did you get the older version of windows at? Do you think you could find NT 4.0 server for me?

My brother collects software too. Heres a list of what my aspie brother has collected.

Visual basic 1 DOS, Visual basic 5 pro, Visual basic 5 Enterprise, Visual basic 6 pro, Visual basic 6 Enterprise, VB.net, Borland C++, Microsoftstudio pro, Borland Delphi 4 threw to 8, Windows 95, Win 98, Win 98 SE, Win ME, Win XP home and pro, Win 2000 pro, MS office 97 2000 and 2003, MS Jbuilder, Tonnes of nortons stuff, lots of old out dated virus checkers.

This is only some of the windows stuff he has. He also has a Linux collection.
