Yeah, i will pass it on one day. It will not get trashed and end in a landfill like E.T.

At the moment i have a hard time to decide if i want to open it or keep it sealed like a pharaos tomb.
It’s always the same decision for collectors. In my mind i have the repeating vision of the Big Bang Theory episode with Sheldons “Spock in aBox”.

I payed just 15 Euro for this and 3 Euro for another sealed Version 3 of EccoPro. But intercontinental shipping was expensive.

The initial idea for this purchase was to make a few computer tech nostalgia videos for youtube reviewing and comparing old software to new ones - just for fun and to cool down all the new hippsters who think that they just invented the wheel, while knowing even less then Jon Snow about history. Thats a niche were you still find almost nothing, expect operating systems and games.

My collection already contains Q&A from Symantech, Lotus SmartSuite, AskSam DOS and Windows, IBM Symphony (DOS version), InfoSelect 1.0, ChartXL from Corel and Hardvard Graphics, Quattro Pro for DOS, Lotus Improv, ObjectVision and a lot of old and sometimes crazy software development systems.

If you aren’t into boxes and handbooks then you can browse “http://vetusware.com”. But thats only a fraction of the fun of having a real physical experience with this dinosaurs.
