So as I posted in the Lounge, I had my first day of volunteer work at my old primary school today. Sadly, all the Macs were gone years ago, but anyway we had a cleanout this afternoon when the librarian was looking for some discs for me to reinstall an Acer PC, she tossed away a whole heap of stuff and told me to grab anything I'm after. I got, all for free:
- KidPix 2
- Crossword Wizard
- Graphics Disk - Australian Wildlife (Macintosh PICT Format), basically clipart
- BannerMania (for the record all these titles are on original media)
- TechTool Pro 2 on CD, and the manual for it
- Schoolfonts (Queensland), basically a couple of floppies with a whole heap of running writing fonts and the like for use making work sheets for class
- FrontPage 97, boxed
- Adobe GoLive 5 for Mac, boxed
- Windows 98 Starts Here, dunno why I grabbed this, just for the hell of it I guess
- 2 D-Link 10/100 CardBus PC ethernet cards, DFE-690TXD model, no idea what chipset they have, but they even support Macs, the CD comes with OS 9 drivers in addition to drivers for all Windows versions up to XP. Provided its something fairly common I'd imagine they'd also work under OS X as well.
All in all, while I'm disappointed that the Macs definitely got crushed, I'm quite happy with my little score, some of the Mac stuff definitely brings back memories 🙂

Nice score!
I like the TechTool disk.

They ... crush ... Macs? :O
Yep, TechTool's definitely the pick of the bunch IMHO. Nice score on the rest too.

I'd assume so - all I know is that they don't have them anymore. It was a few years back too I think 🙁
