You'd be amazed at the amount of stuff that people think is worthy of

I think I still have those Windows 1.0 Beta floppies in a box
somewhere.

(Smiley snipped for obvious reasons)

There must have been several betas then, because the Windows 1.0 release
I have lying around somewhere (in ARJ form on a file server) would fit
on a single floppy of every capacity I've ever encountered.

But then, I'm not _that_ old as people go here.

If you have a copy of GEM, you might be - or at least you'd be able to
fake it.
