Just looking in the first catalog I grabbed, I think I may know why
this stuff may not be moving.  
Even if they are still shrinkwrapped they are still '2nd' hand. Also
the 'real' costs (mail order) on MicroS Word is: $219.50 (incl. shipping),
and Lotus 123 is: $279 (new vers), even if ready is free (should be $46.75),
The question is: Why not by new?
