I took a shower while my little brother played subspace.
Subspace is played over the internet.
After I got out of the shower, I browsed the web some more, checked mail, chatted on ICQ, and played more subspace. The important thing to note is that the phone line was in use continuously from when I got up until when I left the house. And probably even after, as my brother used my computer. It reminded me that when I get my own place, I'm going to have to get either two phone lines, ISDN, frame relay, or a cell phone. Ed also arrived today from Caaalifornia.
