2 laptops...and both were paid for by work. I no longer own my own computer...and I used to consider myself a computer geek. I still enjoy the thought of building myself another computer...but I just don't have the time these days...and I'd much rather be out doing something like biking/running/hiking or working on my house/car.

5 workstations, a server, 3 laptops and my wifi enabled phone. oh ya, 2 itouch and a zune HD on wifi. oh, and 2 psp on wifi. theres only 4 people in the house (me and my 3 kids), a lot of the stuff is for my work.

edit:
guess i should mention that 3 of the workstations are powered down until needed, 2 of the laptops travel with me to and from work and the psps are just occasional toys we mess with. i also never use the wifi on my phone, i havent seen the need to enable it anywhere ive been so far.

1, a quad core something or other speed that I use for everything including gaming. My wife is a sys admin but never touches a computer when home... maybe to check the weather in the mornings but that's it. Otherwise, a work laptop and a wifi smartphone.
