When I used to go to computer auctions in the 80s you could pick up dozens of copies of sealed retail software like this for a quid. I would be the only one buying these things because I was so curious and intrigued, but nobody else gave a damned. Now these things are priceless haha
It’s really sad how many pieces of our digital past have disappeared. As new versions of things come out, people tend to simply discard the old thing.
It's funny seeing "Learn how to use a mouse". I had to help some parolees recently who now have to do "criminal thinking" classes after they get out. These are done on a PC with a bunch of multiple choice questions (You see a man drop his wallet in the street. Do you... a) keep the wallet..).
The problem is, some of these guys had been locked up since pretty much the invention of the mouse and had never seen one except in a movie, so you have to start at the beginning...!
My father in-law worked in corrections in Canada. When they started getting computers in the early 2k. They trained in solitaire to get the hang of clicking and moving the mouse. Effective.
