LanParty #5 - 3 day event and seeing The Matrix

From: Wednesday April 7 1999
To: Friday April 9 1999
Where: Oscar's Humble Abode
Attendance: Oscar
Frenchie
Hunter
Cosmo
Brock
Don
Mik
Tyson
Byte
Highest: Possibly Frenchie's AMD K6-2 350 with Voodoo 2
Lowest: Either a temporarily put together Pentium 233MMX with a Banshee or Hunter's Cyrix if he still had it at this stage..
Games Played: Insert standard game list here.
Network: For the first time ever we were graced with a dedicated server in the form of Tyson's secondary system, a Pentium Pro 200 with 48mb RAM. However this was the source of many of our problems due to one fact. It was running windows...
Comments: With nine people (eight on the table tennis table and Tyson on the small desk) this was the largest LAN to date and also the first attempt we made of extending the LAN from a overnight event to a three day event. One major problem was that our gracious host, Oscar, decided that he had to go to work on the Thursday night. Thus those of us who had not gone home or had prior commitments (Frenchie, Hunter, Tyson, and Cosmo) had to fill a 3 hour void. Solution? Go see The Matrix.....
