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.

A while back I found an unopened shrink wrapped box of Microsoft Basic for Macintosh from back in the 80's
