Just wanted to post a so-well-deserved "Thank You!" note for the work you guys have done and made available. I'm an old techie and know the inside story from the appearance of the first real hard disk, it was about 4 feet in diameter way back in 1974! Back then we thought the mainframe processor was work for our entire lifetimes, when the first PC came out in 1984 we scoffed it off as "just another terminal". lol. It used IBM's PC-DOS as you may know.

Offices used them first to replace their IBM DisplayWriters or Wang Word Processors.... Hmmm...

Then we found out we could play games on it! A little better!

But home users weren't the real threat to our monopoly and lifelong earnings...

And then - darn it, didn't the banks replace their "real" machines with racks and racks of them!

Oh dear, bye-bye mainframe!

So right now computers are reduced to being my hobby!

My interest was to preserve these files in my own collection of old and maybe-needed-or-just-load-it-up-for-nostalgia-some-day, and you have finally provided the missing ones. Many thanks.

Of course I will not find a machine that will load any of them at some future date, but anyway...!
