Granted, but it's a reasonable assumption. Until the kids grow up enough to get their own laptops, the relevant age rapidly diminishing as laptops get cheaper. However, Freenet will run best if it can run as close to 24x7 as possible, on every level: time for downloads, uptime issues for routing, uptime issues for swapping, ... IMHO all we need to do for multi-user systems is have a simple password+username login system, and separate download/upload queues, and WoT identities, for each user. And yes this will require FCP changes to make it work with third party clients.
