It has been interesting to see which CD-ROMs worked and which didn’t. I still have about 30 to go, and will get to them…soon. Or not.

Windows 95. It was not a pretty sight. But I suspect a lot of libraries still have these things sitting around gathering dust, and that at least some of them (like ours) will have discarded physical items that duplicate the content on the theory that “oh, it’s all on that disc.” Which is all to say I think it’s a worthwhile project.
