advice please - re: old software
My wife used to run a commenrcial typesetting shop. She closed it down in 1999. We were cleaning out the closet the other day and found a ton of old software. It's got to be 20 years old, on floppy...

I'm afraid I may having a box full of this as well. I was setup big time running a couple of DELL M90 work station laptops running dual 24 -inch monitors and software (some high dollar) for my ACAD drawings and photoshop things I love to do.
Since Windows XP dropped everything last year I am now tryong to figure what to do for computers. I have been running WIN7 on the wifes low end computer which continued to use my older software. Now that WINDOWS 10 is coming out means WIN7 is not long for this world now. The WIN8-10 computers won't run my old software.
Being retired no monies available to buy new versions of what I have...
I'll come up with something I reckon...
My XP DELL M90s worked out great running the RV Trailer roads... Just grab the M90 laptop and drop it into a Dell Docking station at my house computer room or on the RV docking station setup. Always had all my working programs and things I love to play with available to me anywhere we went.
I'll probably check with the local high school here and see if they want the old programs before hauling off the local dump... Might get a TAX write-off...
