5 at our house...

My girlfriend uses a 17" HP laptop (Core2 Duo w/ 3GB RAM and Blu-Ray)
My son uses a 15" Compaq laptop (Celeron) for homework (and gaming, I'm sure)

I have a Solaris 10 server (Core2 Duo E6750 w/ 4GB RAM)
a WinXP Gaming computer that I need to upgrade to 64 (or Vista 64) to take advantage of RAM (Core2 Duo E7200 w/ 4GB RAM and Blu-Ray)
And one other computer that I generally use to VPN into various client locations (AthlonXP 1600+ w/ 1GB RAM)

I have a couple of old laptops that I don't use - a Gateway and an old Thinkpad - that I haven't used since they started making 2GB USB devices. I don't use a computer *while* I'm traveling - just when I'm at work or at home. I'd give them away, but nobody wants that kind of junk these days.

I am thinking about picking up an iPhone. That will increase the number to 6, won't it?

Looks like they were wrong a few decades ago... I guess this computer thing isn't going away. Smilie
