  • My wife still has her 1st gen through 3rd releases. Small collection but some fairly valuable ones. She said if I did the work of researching, I could do what I wanted with them. I checked prices and immediately took them out of the janky binder they were in and sleeved/hard cased most.

    When I finished pricing, she heard the amount they were potentially worth, she decided she didn’t want to part with them.










  • Dial up internet used phone lines. The same phone lines your calls came in on. Anytime someone called or someone tried to call out, you were very likely disconnected and had to reconnect. Early on, there were no download managers that would pause and reconnect you to finish a download if interrupted.




  • I’m assuming you live in the states, but do not move without having a job lined up. You are asking for disaster in this current job market. Besides that, virtually all housing will require a steady, provable income just to get into a place. The only alternative would be to find someone looking for a roommate off the books (your name not on a lease), like a spare bedroom or couch surf.

    Once you have a job and housing, the rest of what you mentioned is fairly easy, although I don’t know the term HCOL.
