1259484 2012-02-16 06:51:00 Today I was tasked with cleaning out a certain cupboard at school which contained a number of old computer items...


10 5¼ floppy disks (blank)
6 Windows 3.1 5¼ floppy disks
2 shrink-wrapped copies of Windows 98 (not SE)
Encarta 99
Microsoft Works 4.0
Accounting software (also on 5¼ floppies)
2 200W PSUs
3 dot-matrix ribbons (sealed)
Those old white speakers that sound like ****


...and some Sound Blaster disks, HP printer disks and documentation.

Unsurprisingly, everything was in near-perfect condition :D

1259488 2012-02-16 15:02:00 I've still got some Commodore C>64 floppy drives - well, two are official C>64 and the other is an after market version.

Let me know if I should FAX them to ya! (Sorry - I couldn't resist that!)
