Home Alone

Home Alone: "In the old days, circa the mid-1990s, there was only one computer and it belonged to the whole family. It was a beige Gateway and it was placed in a corner of the basement so it wouldn't get in anyone's way. Dad used it occasionally for taxes. Mom used it to write up reports. But it was the children who were instantly enamored of it and fought over who would get to spend time on the machine." Great article about the dynamics of a family with one computer per person. A modern real life update to Yours, Mine, and Ours, a silly movie romp with Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda. Fun stuff. If you grew up in a family with more than one kid (mine had seven), you'll be amused. From the Washington Post.
