Friend and I have been cleaning out a horder's place which had a large collection of early Macs to mid era PowerMacs (G4). I had not seen so many Classic models in my life. There was a ton of boxed software and books.
One of the bits of gold is this Quadra 950. Yes it looks bad, but trust me you should've seen before I gave it a quick clean. Possums were in the place.
Inside the 950 is mint. Not even a spider web. The logic board looks brand new, however it has no RAM, no battery (yay) and everything is disconnected on it.
First thing will be giving it a deep clean. It'll live in the garage till then.

@declan Nice! What sort of boxed Mac software?
@helix_nrg
A lot of MacDraw/MacWrite, some Nortons Utilities/AV, Macintosh Pascal and Microsoft software. Some education stuff as well since I guess a lot of the Classics came from schools
@declan cool. Don’t assume it’s all been archived on the Mac Garden. I’m always interested in knowing what educational software shows up.

My friend and I will be slowly going through what we pulled out. A lot of it needs cleaning as the place all the items were stored was left in a poor condition. I do believe I saw at least one Australia edutainment package, although it may have just been an Aussie publisher. Sadly no Carmens lol

@declan Oh, that's exciting – Carmen's been well archived due to how popular it is, but you may well have found something Australian that's not archived at all 🤞
@declan You call it a 'horder' but it was infact a curator or maybe a collector 🙂. Enjoy
