Cleaning up my desk at work I just stumbled across this... pretty cool!

Still in the plastic wrap and everything... there are two sets... Some of you guys probably used this back in the day 🙂

Oh I'm sure they hated Windows too, it's the customers that they sold their machines too that wanted it. 😛

I'm pretty sure IBM used OS/2 internally for quite awhile, they might even still use it for all I know.
 
I was cleaning out some old disks the other day and ran across Doom II that was spanned across 9 disks!!! Then found the drivers for my #9 video card from way back.....
 
I have several OEM copies of Windows 286 with the first word and excell on them. It was interesting to fire up a dos box and install them. But that old stuff loses it's charm after a few minutes.

edit:
Not word, but another word processor. Word was already out as a dos program at that time.

You would be suprised at how long that's going to be around. In the mid 90's I was still using early 70's hardware and software. Especially for government programs, it takes a lot of time and money to get something new approved.

 
Anyone got any ideas on what the 14560 on the sticker is?

$145.60 maybe? I have no idea what software cost back then... I was in grade 2 when this was made 🙂

I understand that idea, but I work in a smaller office and don't support as many machines, and they all have either Office XP or 2003 on them.
