What to do with old PC software?
 

I have scads of software applications and documents dating back to the early days of the PC. Different genres -- accounting, word processing, desk top publishing, databases, spreadsheets, OSes, NOSes, programming languages and so on. But none that has been used by any known human in 5 to 15 years. What to do with this stuff? Toss it? Are the floppy disks accepted as recyclable? Is there some value to be recovered by eBay or Craig’s list?

I give all my old stuff to Goodwill, including hardware. I wish that there was some wahy it could be sent to some 3rd world school children. I'd like to donate stuff to the D.R. or Haiti.

People will buy ANYTHING on ebay. Sell it.

I might be interested in some of it, do you have a list of what you have? I work on legacy hardware still alive but near the end of service life that is connected to a computer. It’s tough keeping it going but it’s not worth upgrading it. Right now I’m working on a 486 (with a new 40GB hard drive) DOS 6.2, Windows 3.1, and Microsoft Visual C++ 1.0 (yes the original builders based it on the first version), and that’s a newer one.

Put it on ebay and craigslist. People will buy anything for the right price.
