What was your first job?
SwellJoe: I had two:I helped my mom load and unload furniture.  She owned an antiques, used furniture and collectibles shop, and I would go to garage sales and flea markets on the weekend with her to help with the big stuff.Consequently, I had the opportunity to buy a lot of old computer junk for cheap at said garage sales and flea markets.  I bought and rebuilt Commodore 64, Apple IIe, TI 99/4a, etc. machines for resale at $40-$100 (depending on disk drives, printer, etc.).  One time I found an Apple Lisa, with original receipts and in perfectly working order for about 25 bucks.  I was stunned that the 10MB hard disk had cost something like $5495, and the 5MB one $3495.  The Lisa itself was, I think, $9995.
