    uninstaller which repackages installed software for backups?

    Thanks for the replies. Yes, I found the Wise Package Studio, but like Timo mentioned it requires the original install. I was just curious as I have some older machines with OEM software like an ACER control panel which I haven't found online, and as I don't have the original disks figured it...

    Early Computers and Electronic Music?

    There were a lot of articles in Byte in the 70s and they were actually compiled into a book titled "The Byte book of Computer Music". There are also earlier examples but I cannot name any offhand.

    uninstaller which repackages installed software for backups?

    Looking for something which can be run on Win95 that can repackage software which is currectly installed. For example, it would copy all necessary files into an archive. Sort of like a 3rd party uninstaller except it saves the files (and maybe registry keys as well?) I recall seeing something...

    Another trash rescue, you get priority before posting to CraigsList! Prefer not to ship if possible but just maybe... Power supply hesitates / intermittently restarts each 1-2 seconds. Bad caps? Keyboard cable is frayed on each end, simple fix. Pics: http://imgur.com/a/4rIu8 I have not...

    MOD Trackers or other useful music software that'll run on 286/10?

    Doesn't necessarily need to be sample based or anything elaborate, even a couple of channels is great. The only tracker I located needs 286/12. It would be even more amazing if it supports Speech Thing :D Any other suggestions for some decent music composition software is welcomed!

    Apple seems to have removed older System 7 downloads. Where can they be found?

    Perhaps old news but I went to find the System 7.5.3 download or similar for my Quadra and alas... the links are dead. They have also done away with their FTP server entirely! Where do you recommend downloading an older System install from?

    Found in trash: Honeywell magnetic tapes and 8 inch floppies

    Who can resist a pile of trash on the side of the road with antiques? Not me. On a routine trash picking outing there was a crate of these tapes and floppies so rather than let it go to the landfill I took it to my own personal landfill (my house :D). From the looks of them, whoever threw them...
