We have about 10 PCs in the office. Since most of our software was purchased before LAN supporting versions came about, we have multiple copies of DOS (various versions), WordPerfect, LOTUS, etc. As a state agency, we are not allowed to throw them away. Under shrink-wrap agreements, it is questionable if we can give them to anyone (such as a library). So, they gather dust in our office library, unused, unneeded and unloved. Any suggestions?
