Hope you can find something useful and nice, for Amigas and not only (there's some good old software out there, for PCs also! :-D ).
Anyway a suggestion: if the majority of those CDs are useless (eg. AOL, Internet service provider CDs, etc.) you can easily use them for making a special room "painting", filling walls and ceiling with them!
Just an idea I got some years ago, when I got some tenths of old Windows CDs for free... but they were a few.
BY!
Thanks mate, I was thinking something like that to, a wall pasted with CD's mirror side out, or maybe make a pixel Amiga logo if I get enough colors on the printed side
But 7K CD's are many so need mroe ideas to figure out what to do with em
I don't know if my wife would let me buy and store 7000 CD in the garage.
But, I hope you find something worthwhile and if you don't, then maybe you can recover your investment by selling empty CD cases.
I was thinking of selling em also, but then I thought why not burn complete CD tosecs of all CD based consoles and archive em instead?
how much ?? ..wow..just sit in front of a computer takes about 5 mins to quick check a cd ..so 5mins times 7000...a few late nights i think..
enjoy.
No worries all of them have labels
Whoa! Is it retail-packaged software, or just discs in jewel cases?
I said unknown since I had not checked inside the boxes, 80% of the CD's are on a A4 cardboard piece in heat-shrinked plastic so I see em.
To everyone, I did around 500 wraped CD's today (A lot of CD's are the same in the same boxes so around 50 of the same CD so far), it's time consuming since im planning on saving the jewel cases of every CD if the contents are crap and as I wrote above 80% of em are shrink-wraped in plastic on cardboard and near 20 years old so the plastic is realy annoying to get of without cracking the cases, I cut 3 sides open and peel it of, it has gotten quite stuck over the years, so about 10-20 secs to open every single one
In the boxes of 500 CD's I did today I found not much of interest, a big bunch of OS/2 software (Which was quite OK), about 100 "Dungeon Keeper: The Deeper Dungeons" expansion CD's in Swedish (not happy about em), tons of music software for windows 3.x and other stuff, not much I want but im keeping a few X of every different CD to add to my software collections.
I also checked in 5 boxes of non wraped CD's and found a lot of kid's games like learn math/ABC etc which I will make ISO's of for my digital collections.
Also in the non wraped boxes I found 100x of playstation 1 games, everyone was the same and the game was a third person point and click adventure game named "Ark of Time" not to fun but better then nothing
But I keep my hopes up to find more fun things, im not yet to unpleased but the time it takes to open em up are not fun.
Ill keep you all posted on what I find, I have no time for a few days now to open any more but ill write back next week when I start opening more, im planning on trying to get my wife to help so I can open the rest in a week
