The only huge haul I had was from a computer consultant that cleaned out a defunct printing company that use Macs and then wanted his garage space back. Soo much software and cool hardware for the taking (1Hr plus drive one way to get to it all).

With the price of gas over 2.5x what it was just a few years ago you need to have a huge oportunity to justify the gas money.

A university would be the best place to find the scientific software that I loved to get. But I would think anything 68K/early Mac related has been dumped by now.

I was lucky to snag some cool mathematics Mac software from a guy who worked at a defense contractor in california and was giving it away for free.
