I have had exactly this experience with old hardware from eBay. I’ve got one Windows 95 machine that someone sold and the entire hard drive is full of work and personal stuff.
Same, restoring a Macintosh SE FDHD atm that I bought from a traditional auction house.
Got it booting and the HD is filled with that previous owners CV and architectural drawings/letters for a long dead company in the Midlands (UK). The previous owner had died a few months before and his entire house contents were being auctioned.
I'll make an image of the HD and then replace it with something less ear-damaging... feels weird though.
