[Hidden-tech] Any "vintage" software collectors?

[Rich]

There are a number of facebook groups about such, for one try:
         https://www.facebook.com/groups/1233645553343772

Also, there is the Computer History Museum in SF:
         https://computerhistory.org/

Personally I have pallets of the stuff (yes, pallets, not just boxes)
and have been working to place some of them.

The issue with software on old disks (and any sort) is that they very 
often get corrupted and so are not readable.
There is a curator from the CHM who lives locally, I'll email him if see 
if there is any interest there.

There are a quite a number of groups that discuss these topics, this is 
a hodgepost collection of mine that might be useful:

Let us know if you have any luck.

(and for the person who posted about Greendisk - there are services that 
will reprocess instead of just dumping these,
I put some related companies at:

Some are about recycling rather than reuse
