    It's funny what you can run into sometimes.

    Not too long ago I was doing some work in one of our offices which was our corporate office when we only had a couple of dozen locations. I found a box with at least 2-3 dozen upgrade Windows 95 copies in retail box on floppy. I wanted to interoffice a few to people with a note attached "please contact the IT department with a 2 hour window which we can use to upgrade your PC".

    I think my craziest find was a copy of NT4 for Alpha CPUs. We have loads up CRTs stashed up away in our attic. There's only a few people left that we need to switch over.

    lol. That sounds like the spare parts and software vault we currently use at work.

    A while back I found an unopened shrink wrapped box of Microsoft Basic for Macintosh from back in the 80's
    IT guy since 12/00

    Recent: 11/2019 - RHCSA (RHEL 7); 2/2019 - Updated VCP to 6.5 (just a few days before VMware discontinued the re-cert policy...)
    Working on: RHCE/Ansible
    Future: Probably continued Red Hat Immersion, Possibly VCAP Design, or maybe a completely different path. Depends on job demands...
