Comment on The Forgotten Art of the LAN Party (2023)

Comments

Me and some other friends used laptops (think they were IBM ThinkPads), PCMCIA Ethernet adapters (maybe from Xircom?) and thin Ethernet (coax) to play multiplayer DOOM on a Reno Air or AA flight from San Jose to Austin once. I think we were using IPX for networking and we just strung coax between the seats.

Needless to say this was before 9/11 and the flight attendants took it in their stride.
