I had over 50 OEM Mac OS 8.0 discs for a while. I ended up throwing them out. I bet I could have found someone to take them.

I have 11 copies of the Bungie network game Minotaur: The Labyrinths of Crete - we used to play it quite a bit on the old LocalTalk (and later Ethernet) networks.

Do you happen to still have any copies of this game laying around? I would absolutely love to have one for my collection of games and I would pay you a good amount for it. If you have any left please let me know! |

Civilization. Every version. Although given that they play differently, and run on different machines, I'm not sure they count as the same software. The same concept, perhaps. It's like claiming that VW have made 37 million Golfs. The original, 1974, car is so different from the car of today that it's disingenuous to claim that they're the same product. |

I have a box of OEM DELL system restore disks a guy gave me a long time ago, many copies of XP and Vista plus FreeDOS. |

Does Simple Text count in this? Everything came with a copy of Simple Text to open the Read Me.
Without a doubt I have more copies of Simple Text than anything else. Then it may be Disk Copy |

I have a box of OEM DELL system restore disks a guy gave me a long time ago, many copies of XP and Vista plus FreeDOS. I have a similar box full of OEM Windows 3.1 disks.
I also have, somewhere, a box full of Dell Latitude D6x0 lower RAM slot doors with various OEM XP license keys (I think there may be a couple Vista ones too).
I'm sure I can think of more if I bother long enough.

What do you mean by "most copies"? I have digital editions of a number of products, and I've downloaded them many times, and backed them up to multiple backup media. Multiple copies of the same versions, AND official installers of each point release.
If we're talking original physical media though... I don't have much of that anymore; mostly single copies of products. At one point, I had hundreds of Disk Tools floppies though 😀 |

The reference to the Dell OEM discs reminds me of the time my high school threw out a whole paper box of OEM Windows 2000 discs. There had to have been close to 60 of the discs and some manuals in there, not one of them opened. They were from a brand of computer called Tangent, which was marketing to schools at the time but now seems to focus mostly on the medical field. Our IT director was buying cheap PCs from small companies like Tangent and Kingdom (better known for providing audio equipment to churches) for a while. I actually have a Kingdom branded keyboard somewhere, gifted to me by one of my old science teachers. (If anyone finds a working Kingdom Pinnacle computer circa 1998-1999, I'll gladly buy it and take it to our next high school reunion). |

I have a small stack of OEM Windows 95 manual and CD (shrink-wrapped) some local company was tossing and posted them on freecycle ages ago. Not as fun as the retail edition but has the serial number so they are useful. |
