I remember:

Banyan Vines (the BEST networking software of its time)
Netware
Bernoulli Box
IBM DisplayWrite
Harvard Graphics
Paradox (the easiest relational database, in its character-code days)
DR DOS
Betamax

Glen, you left out:

Videodisks (and the BBC's Domesday project)
Electric Pencil (the first word processor for home computers)
Wang Labs' VS series (and their Wang Office suite--one of the first of its type)
dBase (III, III Plus and, eventually IV) database software
Borland's Delphi programming language 
IBM System 360 mainframes
Vydec word processors
8" floppy disks (we have a nice little collection of them)

I think the list is almost endless.....
