This all really started in July of 2024. My wife and I were living in Minneapolis, she had recent accepted a position at a university in Germany, and we had been selling 90% of our worldly possessions to make international marginally more affordable. One of the most difficult sales, was that of my PC. I have been building and upgrading my own PC’s for 15 years now, and this was the first time in a very very long time that I would not have a PC of any kind. But, shipping it internationally was more likely to damage it, and we didn’t know what our living situation was going to be like for a while, so off it went.
