For Sale - 1998 Microsoft Developer Network CD Library

[granz]

Up for offer is a complete set of the 1998 Microsoft Developer Network Compact Disks (CDs.) This set was sent to me from Microsoft when I earned my MCP (Microsoft Certified Professional,) while working on my MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) certification.

Included are all fifty-two of the original disks, in their original sleeves. Also included is a bonus of the Windows 98 beta, French, German and Spanish compact disk and several additional CD sleeves.

These worked (at least the ones that I tried) back in the late 1990s, and early 2000s, when I last used them for my work.

From eBay's AI description:
The 1998 MSDN Subscription is a nostalgic piece of vintage computing history, featuring access to the Microsoft Developer Network for a year along with bonus CDs. This exclusive membership offered developers a comprehensive collection of software and resources to enhance their programming skills. With its authentic brand and country of manufacture, this product is a valuable addition to any computer enthusiast's collection, providing a unique glimpse into the technology landscape of the late 90s.

I originally was asking $100, but am willing to go much lower for my friends here on Savage///Chats. How about $40-$50?

What exactly do they do/are for?

[granz]

Back when I was an active (I was grandfathered into the MCSE does not expire - now the certification has to be renewed) Microsoft Certified System Engineer, I received this set of CDs. It included all of Microsoft's software - Operating Systems, Languages, Application software, etc. It was so that developers who worked on Microsoft systems could practice, or develop software with this set.
