I'll wrestle you for the king 'pack rat' title.

I just gave away two RS Model II's with C/PM on them and a big box of
8" disks. Can't see where it made any difference in my pile to the
ceiling.

A short time ago I had to lose some weight to be able to slide
sideways in the narrow isle in my office (garage) to get to the
computer.

I've still got stuff that I shipped from Omaha, when I retired 31
years ago, to Houston that I have never opened down here.

As I have said for years, "One of these days"....................

King of the Pack Rats

Big John G

Some items that can be seen poking out of the 'pile'. All top of the
line in their day.

IBM Fortran course. (I used to learn Fortran working on my MA)
First version of OS2 that IBM released.
Lotus 123
SuperCalc 5
WordStar Pro
Basic I
etc, etc, etc.

Bob - I just deleted MOSAIC from my other computer - that was the FIRST.
I was a Beta site for it and again when Netscape became a company (just
before)
was the Beta site for the first Netscape.

MOZILLA is the latest spin-off that took some of the firsts.

Yeah....
Ran MOSAIC, myself.

However, several of years ago with teary eyes....
I let all that NEWER stuff go, along with all the
CP/M programs stored on 8 inch floppies. g

As a pack rat, I thought I was doing pretty good.
However, I'm probably not in the winner's circle.
