    No shit. Everyone brings over their computer. For me my first network was the lan party net. It was 10base 2. Invariably at least one time a meet someone would kick a coax cable loose and we would lose the whole network. Thinking about it we didn’t have the name lan party when we first started having them. We called it playing warcraft 2.

      We used those coax cables at school. Each row had a terminator. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it elsewhere.
