Condition & completeness
• Mixed new/used: some items appear sealed (e.g., OneNote kit), others are open. Expect normal shelf wear, corner dings, and sticker residue typical of vintage boxes.
• Discs/keys/manuals: what you see is what you get from the photos. Keys/COAs/activation are not guaranteed. Older Microsoft titles may require legacy activation/old OS; treat as collectibles/for restoration projects.
• Untested: I haven’t installed or run these. Sold as-is, final sale.
Compatibility & usage notes (read this)
• These titles target classic Windows (95/98/ME/2000/XP) or classic Mac OS/PowerPC-era macOS. They generally won’t run natively on current Windows 11 or Apple silicon without virtualization/emulation (e.g., Virtual PC, VMware, VirtualBox, SheepShaver, DOSBox, etc.).
• Perfect for retro PCs/Macs, museums, classroom displays, or collectors building complete boxed sets.
