   Hello Anna!   
      
    AA>> What good is all that old stuff?   
      
    ACN> Well, that's an interesting question, especially in a   
    ACN> FidoNet echo :)   
      
   I am all FOR enjoying ftn tech on slightly newer machines.  ;)      
   There is no way that I would want to fire-up an old AT PC and do     
   the same thing sitting in front of a CRT screen.  As you know,     
   fido echos can be admirably enjoyed with linux pcs too.   
      
   Some fidonet echos are even accessible via the Telegram app for     
   all platforms - platforms that did not exist back in the day.   
      
    ACN> There are some people who would like to have some of the   
    ACN> stuff that you mentioned (I, eg. would be interested in   
    ACN> the SmartSuite, but preferably in German).   
      
   Wouldn't there be an option in the menus to set the language of     
   preference?   WARNING: 12MB RAM minimum required!  LOL

    ACN> If you don't want to invest much time and effort, why not   
    ACN> just put the stuff in a box, make some photos and put it   
    ACN> in a forum or an echo (like CLASSIC_COMPUTING) and say   
    ACN> "for free, to pick up".   
      
   I thought of that very thing. I already mentioned a handful of     
   gear about a year ago in appropriate echos where some people     
   were discussing parts would hang out. But no takers.   
      
   Maybe it's worth repeating. Apparently fidonet has a cforsale     
   echo too.   
      
   Taking photos of the stuff is definitely a good idea.   
      
   There is a local shop in town that operates as a donation-based     
   thrift store and helps to raise funds for the local hospice. The     
   shop has a man-cave area that is filled with tools and gear of     
   all kinds. Not sure about computer parts and software.
