Why would you subject yourself to that? Just have them come over and help you carry your heavy tower and even heavier CRT to LAN at their house, even if it’s a mile away (me and friends literally did this in Fremont, CA - though I believe it might have been a bit less than a mile)

I hosted a LAN party for my friends because I wanted to practice setting up a small network. It’s funny to think that was once semi-challenging.

The pain inflicted when someone had to leave the LAN and the BNC chain had to be broken and reconfigured....
Or... Someone getting totally owned in Doom cracking it and disconnecting a terminator.
Great times.

But then it would take 4 hours to figure out Windows networking in your computer. (Been there done that)

Yeah, my parents refused to buy a second line so this is what we did.
