One of my most notable Mac software hauls came from a guy in CA who used to 
work at a defense contractor and saved some of the software, then gave it 
away. I think I got boxed 68K versions of Mathematica, MathCAD, Ashlar 
Vellum CAD, and some cool utilities. You can find old Mac graphics apps all 
over the place but anything CAD or scientific is very rare (non student 
versions are even harder to find). Oddly enough I found an old 68k copy of 
Designcad at a local thrift, if I didn't recognize the company logo on the 
all black box I would have missed it (used the DOS version at a previous job 
in the early 90's).
