I looked around my room and was wondering if other are like me or I am just weird. (ooops, that's a given)
How many computers do you have?
Many folks spend money on music or eating out or going to shows or curtains and so on. I buy food and a new computer about once a year.
I don't retire any of them. I just move them to a new job.
Within arms reach of where I am sitting, there are 4.
1. My main Laptop which has movies and music for travel. It also is the sync for my IPods.
2. Main Desktop which is my second fastest and the newest. About 6 months old.
3. Old main desktop was demoted to the test server and could act as backup in emergency. but SLOW 2.4 Pentium
4. Old Dell AMD 1800 Large HD. This is a video box. The output is to my TV and I have all my DVD movies on it. No getting out of the chair to load the dvd player. *Lazy*
In another room there are 2 active computers.
5. PF server about 2 years old.
6. One I put together about 6 years ago and still running. I has a great soundcard in it. I use this only for recording and editing my Howling At The Moon.
In another back room. 7. An 8 years old Gateway P3 that is just online hard drives for backups.
5 of these are turned on all the time.
I also still have an 8 years old dell laptop that works. Painfully Slow. P2 I think Maybe even P1.
I have a few others that I am not sure what condition or if they would start up. I still have my first 286 with sipp memory. Back when memory was $100 / MEG
So is this eccentricity mine alone?
How many computers does it take for you to get through the day?

I have three. The laptop that never ever leaves my side. I use it to play games on along with music and stuff. Two desktops, on new one that I'm mad at all the time and an older one. I let the kids and company use them .

Between Giz and I we have 2 each that we use on a regular basis (desktop and laptop each). We have several others around though that don't get used. There's at least one other in this room, and maybe one in the closet. My dad was a computer hoarder though... I had mine up in my room, dad had his that he used all the time, mom had hers and then the collection really got excentric. I'm pretty sure the old Apple II was down tucked away in the basement, along with one of the first Mac's and just about everything in between. He even still had some old programs on punch cards from university. lol All in all I'm guessing there were probably 10 in the house, most of which were in working order. I'm pretty sure the oldest ones still worked fine as long as you could find a floppy (or tape lol) that wasn't too degraded. Oh and as an aside my first experience with ultima was on the old Apple II... not online obviously Ahh the good 'ol green screen.

I have this new computer I built a month or two ago, an AMD Phenom quad core. It's nice, first new computer I built in nearly 5 years or more I think. The old case is sitting in the corner gathering dust until I can find a charity that will take it. Other than that, I have a laptop that is not too old gathering dust in my closet. I got it when I was in Iraq. Other than those 3 of mine, there are 3 more laptops, and 3 more desktops. EDIT: Haha Sobknefru....reading your post takes me back. I remember Kings Quest on our old IBM PC. I always fell off the tree and died trying to get the golden apple

Well lets see, in my home office space I have 3 dell desktops running all the time. 1 is a coding test machine for various projects, one is my main desktop that I store music and movies on and the other handles the finances (Jades desktop). I have an older HP sitting around not being used right now, might make that a webserver some day.
We also own 3 laptops, Allen, Shade and Jade all have their own laptops and I use my company laptop that holds all my work/play stuff on it.
Hmm sounds pretty bad now that I list them all out.

Well, I actually cleaned my house out pretty well of most of my old systems recently, so now I'm down to 2 new laptops, and a desktop that's pretty much just sitting around, a half broke down machine I think I'm saving just for the case, but it will probably be in the dumpster soon, and a few static bags full of replacement parts from graphic cards to cd burners and laptop ram modules. a couple few months back I had 2 desktops and 4 laptops, but I like giving stuff away.
Both of the laptops are amd athlon x2 64's @ 2ghz, with nvidia and the other with ati chipsets with 250 gig hard drives, 4 and 2 gigs of ram running kubuntu linux and (just for backup purposes) windows vista (on a *small* partition) dual boot.
