In the past week or two, three of my four brothers have built themselves computers. They have finally conceded that laptops are a bad investment (I’ve been telling them this for years–my desktop is showing no signs of waning after 7 years while most of them have gone through two laptops in the same period.) And, apart from the economics, they also realize that desktops are immensely preferable as gaming computers.
That, after all, is really why they built their computers.
So last Sunday, after our family (plus some) lunch, Daniel set up a table in the basement and traveled home to get his computer. John went to his separate corner of the city to get his computer. And Timothy brought his down from upstairs.
In between chatting with my folks, processing my pickles, and crocheting a Christmas ornament, I popped downstairs to take a few photos.
John gave the signal and each boy raised his hand to avoid a face photo.
I switched sides, making it harder for Dan to hide his face–but he managed it nonetheless.
Just another Sunday afternoon when the Menter children re-converge on their house of origin.
Haha. My husband and I were wondering just the other day if people still hold LAN parties. Glad they were having fun!
John didn’t quite manage to hide his face… Darn Menter nose!
For the record, I never had a laptop.
