Seeking reverse-engineers - Apple II VisiCalc

[Andrew Burton]

Sure that's all good and true, but surely more software and sources *should* survive these days as most people will probably search the internet to see if it's worth any value.
Items that aren't labelled are much more likely to be junked than items that are clearly labelled.

Regarding harddrives full of junk, I have a work colleague who's partner sticks all her photo's straight onto their home computer filling up the harddrive.
My harddrive would be pretty empty if I hadn't discovered sites like YouTube etc. Plenty of cool and educational clips can be downloaded these days.

That's precisely why it survives, because nobody wants to stick their neck
out and claim it to be junk, only to find 6 months or a year later that it was
of vital importance (it's also why home computer users seem to need hundreds
of GB of space these days, but that's another discussion :-)
