I finally followed through with this (after 4 years):

http://multimedia.cx/eggs/museum-of-multimedia-software-part-1/
http://multimedia.cx/eggs/museum-of-multimedia-software-part-2/
http://multimedia.cx/eggs/museum-of-multimedia-software-part-3/
http://multimedia.cx/eggs/museum-of-multimedia-software-part-4/

So, are there any groups who would like to lay claim to this collection? 
There are some interesting pieces, particularly the moviemaking software 
that comes in a film tin.
