Long shot request

[kengr]

Anybody have any Windows ME CDs and keys that they don't need?

I'm looking for a copy each of regular (aka OEM) and "upgrade.

I want them because I keep running into people who've mangled their system or bought new hardware and can't get it running again without being able to stick in the CD for Windows to load drivers from.

I tell such folks that they need to buy a legit copy of the OS, but having these CDs would let me get them running until they *can* buy stuff.

For that matter if anybody has old Mac or OS/2 install CDsz (or floppies for the really old versions) let me know.

The folks I need this for tend to be ones who would lose a lot of stuff if we installed a different version of Windoze.

And yes, I agree that ME is *bad*. But...

And I'll take the ISO as a last resort, but I'd rather have real CDs. Just because.

Can you be more specific on "old Mac"? Roland has a Performa 6116 he got c.1995 that's running IIRC OS7.something (the highest OS it'll handle), but I'm not sure what all he has in the way of installation disks.

Since the most recent Mac I've got is a Performa 6205CD, I've probably got that disk. But I'm actually interestred in old stuff. I've got stuff clear back to Mac+
