The cat is out

The previously divulged secret is out of the bag.

For his birthday, I got my little brother a network adapter for his PS/2, as he's been dying to play online for quite some time. I ordered it a month ago, installed it and tested it, but then left it attached to the PS/2 figuring he'd never look at the back of it.

I think the plan was pretty much sound, but then when my dad ran network wire through a wall requiring him to move the entertainment center that housed the PS/2, he must have disturbed the connections. Later than same night, my brother played a game, was getting poor reception, and so checked the back of the console only to find... a network adapter!

So today my dad asked if we should make my brother wait another two weeks, for his birthday, to use his newly discovered gift, but I figured that would just be a waste of perfectly good game time.

By now, he's been playing a few hours and can't get enough of it. I'm glad I was able to get him something he can enjoy, rather than something silly and useless.
