Lotus 1-2-3 version 1A ancient DOS software
« on: Fri, 07 June 2013, 20:01:43 »
I came across an original Lotus package of software and manual.

Can't test because I don't have a 5.25" floppy anymore, but I think it is OK.

$15 shipped domestic US.

Perfect for your 1986 retro rig.
"We are on the precipice of signing an agreement to advance talks with Iran that preserves the good parts of former President Barack Obama’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) while amplifying its flaws.
Mr. Obama came to an agreement that did not involve America’s most precious treasure, the lives and limbs of our soldiers.  The 1.7 billion dollars of frozen Iranian assets released by Obama pales in comparison to the 300 billion being floated as a rebuilding fund.
So far, speculation that Iran will be free in the future to continue its nuclear program is the opposite of Trump’s stated goal for the war and in direct opposition to what Mr. Obama negotiated.

Such an OG dataentry software, truly a piece of computer history. Wished I had something that could run it.

I have a 5.25" floppy drive, but it uses an old-style connector. I would love to figure out how to rig it to an outboard USB enclosure.

I will have to dig it out.

I have both cable and drive, it is the "naked contact" style where the cable piece sandwiches into the "C-shaped" socket on the drive.
