Exhibits

OS/2 Museum

First of all, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all who donated the old junk cluttering their attics to my museum! I'm always looking for more so you still have chance to donate! And I'm willing to part with a few bucks for your effort too.

More in an attempt to catalog my collection than to showcase it, I have compiled a list of my ancient OS/2 related software complete with short descriptions. The "exhibits" are roughly sorted by release date and split into several sections. No software newer than 1995 that I own is listed here.

Original software

These are software packages, complete or incomplete, which I own in their original form. Where an exhibit was donated (as opposed to bought by me), name of the donor is noted.
