Invite the owner of oldcomputermuseum.com to BA?

Post by DiskingRound »

Hello everybody, I just found a nice website online which shows off a bunch of vintage computers and softwares: http://www.oldcomputermuseum.com.
All the stuff that he has that we don't have:
MS-DOS 1.14
MS-DOS 3.0?
DR-DOS 3.31
MS-DOS 4.0x AST OEM
Windows 2.03 Unisys OEM
That's all I could think of. While we do have many of the stuff that he has, many of them have are missing scans of CDs, floppies, boxes, manuals, etc.
Can we invite this person to BA, or have we already been in touch with him?

I don't think so. He is free to(and should) come if he wants to , but we shouldn't persuade him.

1) It's his choice if he's going to search the internet for betas and come to our website.
2) We focus on betas. Sure, we have abandonware as our 2nd priority, but still, who knows if he cares for betas.
3) And also, how well does he follow the rules? Who knows how he does...

1) It's his choice, but we can always extend an invitation considering what we do, which is...
2) We focus on preservation. Which is exactly what oldcomputermuseum does, so it fits just well.
3) How well did we know you followed the rules before you joined? This is a non-issue...
