As a matter of fact.. instead of going to eBay, you can now find
SystemWorks 2000 even cheaper on the internet. I bought my last
copy for $8.95 from www.free-cdsoftware.com
It might be a little more now?? Anyway, if it is still listed, then you
pay a very low cost + s&h.
They have other titles also real cheap. All software, however, do
not come with manuals, but are ORIGINAL manufactered CDs.
There are other "free" or low-cost software clearance houses. Use
WebFerret or other search engine to find them and then check.
