The LOML and I have recently pictured a new home computer and plan on using the old one for my son to play games and surf the internet on (oh yeah, homework too). The newest one is running Winds XP media edition and the old one is on Windows 98. My son (8 yrs old) loves medieval type fantasy adventure games and while we originally played together he is now getting better than me and quite honestly it is getting harder to share time playing. My thought is that if we could link the two computers in a network we could play together. An added benefit (I hope) is that I will be better able to monitor any internet surfing that he does. I know there are a lot of computer (hmmmmmmm what's the word?) experts on this forum and I was wondering if they thought it was possible? how it can best be done easily and inexpensively? and if you are aware of any two player games that would keep an 8 YO's interest? Would I be beter off just splurging on one of the game consols that hook up to the TV?
Thanks in advance for the help.
