Hi all

Interesting thread which makes me want to post.

We have:

1 desktop. This is a super computer that is rigged up to 4GB RAM, flat LCD monitor, nice case, powerful graphics card. I use it mostly for video editing and games.

3 laptops. My wife owns her own laptop (Fujitsu Lifebook) from work. I have 2 laptops of my own. One is a Thinkpad X60 and another Dell.

1 netbook. We also have one netbook which we won in a lucky draw and we use it for general surfing or use it in cafes, etc.

I would take the laptop out of service but it's literally the only computer in the house that seems to work as a print server. The other four computers have major problems with the print spooler crashing. Vista is a POS!

1 desktop (file server, gaming machine; also what I use when I work from home since I need dual monitors)
1 laptop (for surfing the net when I'm hanging out in my living room)
1 netbook (used more when I'm on the road than at home, but it sits on my desk and gets used when I'm working from home on my desktop and want a 3rd monitor to watch hulu or something)

also have an xbox360 and an ipod touch, but I don't really count them as computers.

My Desktop: Early 2009 2.0GHz Mac Mini
Kids Desktop: 1.83GHz Intel Mac Mini
My Laptop (mostly for work): 2.0GHz MacBook
Wife's Laptop (for home and work): 2.0GHz MacBook

Sitting next to me is a G4 Mac Mini I just bought on Craig's List that I am in the process of setting up for my uncle.

I also have an iPhone.

(To think, I use to have 5 Shuttles running at my house less than a year ago.)

I had a yard sale yesterday and got rid of two P4 desktops and two P4 laptops.
