So, if a car 25 years old or older is an antique...

[KrazyHorse]

how old does a piece of software have to be in order to be considered an antique?

I just found a boxed copy of redhat 7.2 (release date Oct 2001) in my office (plastic still on).

What do you guys think it's worth? Should I ebay it or hold on to it on the assumption that it can only appreciate in value?

[Asher]

It's worthless. Just as it was when it was released.

[KrazyHorse]

Think of the sentimental value!

Which means it will sell on Ebay

It comes with kernel 2.4.7 and gcc 2.96

SWEET

[KrazyHorse]

All the memories...

...of your undergrad days?

[KrazyHorse]

at the thought of me using linux during undergrad

[Krill]

Really? I've used it, even fairly extensively at times, and I do the ****ty degree that is drawijng stick figures.

[Asher]

I remember when 2.4 was the sexy new kernel...

You kids learn computer stuff early these days. I never had to do any numerical work in undergrad which couldn't be achieved with Excel (even this was only for lab classes; specifically, error analysis).

[Asher]

I think my router at home still runs an early 2.4 kernel.

Edit: Just SSHed into it. 2.4.14

I'm not sure whether that's good for me or not...

Still, I think it'd be awesome for you to ebay that CD...

[KrazyHorse]

What's my expected rate of return if I hold on to it and ebay it later? I need market research. Now, damnit!
