Oops. My bad. What I was looking at (upside down and no glasses) was a box top that said Caldera Systems.<br><br>It is a full Open Linux 2.3 from caldera systems. It has applixware 4.4.2, star office 5.1, and WordPerfect 8. Not the tool set you were looking for.<br>
<br>You can still have it! It has the box, 3 cd's and the book. I have an applixware book I'll throw in for only double the money, $0!<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jul 26, 2011 at 11:15 AM, Rich Faulkner <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rfaulkner@34thprs.org">rfaulkner@34thprs.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>
