How Many Computers Are In Your Home?
 
I was just looking around at the number of computers that are in my house & remembering back to when I got the 1st one & everyone wanted to use it - LOL

So, stupid poll time - how many active & working computers do you have in your house? (the 3 old towers sitting in the corner do not count - LOL)

MrMaryLou 2003-09-15 10:13 AM

Too many LOL

stuveltje 2003-09-15 10:38 AM

I use 2 puters, and if i get the chanse(sorry jim, but english isnt my primary language, so i can get away with it|bananna| ) i will take the one from my guy and kids to|waves|

cockNballs 2003-09-15 11:09 AM

I have 3

and I don't work from home (too much)

Surfn 2003-09-15 11:48 AM

I turn all my old puters into servers, if they count then I have over 10. My old laptops become storage devices something like portable HD's.

ozzieman 2003-09-15 12:16 PM

i have two loaded servers that i run from home, both doing hosting for friends and relatives and paying folks too, then I have my wifes Dell, and thats a really good burner for cds and dvds and then I hae my 350 dollar screemer that I just built, and thats my editor and program keeper, plus its a mail server as well, so Im pretty busy with that. and 2 old pentium 3 desktops that are just my personal network server clint machines for storage and file playing ( sometimes I host online games on them so I can play) I am getting 2 new servers pretty soon to add to my large network. So just for the purpose of this post I have 6 am adding 2 and want 10 more!

I have a 26 port client hookup for my little red box! Haha.

After I drop off my old G4 this week I'll be down to three, two Macs and one Win2K machine.

That is not counting the closet full of computers that aren't being used.

LilBiggz 2003-09-15 01:50 PM

I've only got 2 working.
4-5 in the garage...
1 on the kitchen table...

Damn sounds like I need to take a trip to the dump... |huh

tiny 2003-09-15 02:20 PM

And stuveltje, you should have ignored the "Pet Peeve" :) It was only for people that "claim" English as a primary language :)

Although I don't claim English as my primary language I still think the subject is highly relevant. Spelling like 5 year-old kids or simply writing nonsense will most likely have a negative effect on sales... but thats a totally different thread I think :)

So by all means... keep the English lessons coming |shake|

Extreme John 2003-09-15 08:39 PM

I take it easy at home, 2.... One for me to check mail, do some light work and the other for my wife to type with her loud ass nails and that my daughter plays games on also.

amber438 2003-09-15 09:55 PM

with the new laptop we have 7 plus a dummy terminal in the bedroom..

Greenguy 2003-09-16 09:48 AM

I did forget to mention that I have 6 working in the house - my main one, my laptop, my spare (for Jim or MrMaryLou or other guests when they come to visit) The wife has one as do the 15 & 14 yo's

Extreme John 2003-09-16 10:23 AM

Good call Green Guy its the worst when:

1) Someone comes to visit and they suck the life out of your computer

or

2) You go some place and there's no computer for you to use at free will.

Greenguy 2003-09-16 11:35 AM

I have to bring my laptop to Jim's when I visit him |banghead|

Chop Smith 2003-09-16 05:09 PM

Three active ones. Had fourteen until I closed down my software business after 20+ years.

Kath 2003-09-16 07:19 PM

We have 5 active...

Mine (still shiny & new....), my old one (now re-formatted and in the living room...), my son's PC, my daughter's PC and the laptop which I use often and on the road.

Plus... there are 4 in the garage collecting dust... or wait - they ARE dust... something like that. lol

ladydesigner 2003-09-16 11:46 PM

We have 3. One is my new Dell, one for my husband (but that I also store crap on) and one for the kids.

RawAlex 2003-09-17 12:09 AM

I live alone... I have 7 computers. 6 plus a laptop. Two of them are for video edits and production, the laptop is for travelling and roaming the house, one does nothing but accounting and such, and the rest are for web design, graphics, and other happy jobs.

Range from an ancient AMD 333 to a P4 2.8gig multithread (that does video, which requires a boatload of horsepower to do right, especially MPEG2 encoding for DVDs.
