I recently bought an IBM PS/2 L40sx for about 30 pounds (trans from CNY), yes it works and in good condition... except the screen. But no problem I attached it to a screen through VGA. It runs PC-DOS 5 and WfW 3.11. I wanna play around the computer but as I was born in 1997 I know nothing about it. Will anyone suggest some interesting software for it to play? I got floppies.

Mac OS X (any version)
Try Encarta '95, MS-BOB 1.00 and Office 97 (all on the FTP)
For DOS, try looking around the Abandonware sections.
