Is there any particular types of sofrtware that you are interested in or is
it just the tech stuff? I have a couple of games and some other productivity
stuff they sold for the PC XT back in the day (Pre-AT)under their Badge
complete with Binders and Manuals and Media. For instance, I have an
original set for IBM's PC Storyboard. This was a precursor to programs like
PowerPoint and I used it back in 1986 or so to make "Multimedia"
Presentations before Multimedia was a buzzword lol. It could use graphics
and text and had several transitional wipes for moving from slide to slide
and such. I believe it was a CGA only program even with the "full" 4 color
pallette. lol
