Ah, I was only playing original Quake with a direct dial-up to a friend’s modem, for 1-on-1, but we did have it working in the computer lab on 10-baseT.

If somebody went to turn their desktop slightly, the coax would pop out of the t-connector and those further down the chain would be at a severe disadvantage.

general8bitso··on Best Buy’s Secrets for Thriving in the Amazon Age (2017)

The customer would come back a day later and demand a full refund for the PSP, while keeping their add-on discount.

This did not happen often, though.
