Sigh... I have been meaning to power off my old workstation... Well the "count the ones that are powered on most" clause appears after the "Don't count those....you rarely use" clause. The second cause must countermand the first cause. So my unused but powered-up workstation should be counted. I think... Smilie

Yes, if it is powered-on, and generating heat, it is in use.... in this poll.

I have four.

My media centre does all my media stuff, tv, music, movies and anything similar.
My Laptop, which is what I am typing on now, which is 50/50 personal and home office, and my dedicated home office machines a Sun Blade 1500, and a self built AMD64 based box.

I have 2 desktops + 2 wireless laptops registered at the wireless router at home, so I choose 4, but only 2 are used most of the time, with Vista, XP, 2000 and Debian on the network.

Just the one laptop. If I need unix access (mostly when on this site), I use arbornet's BSD servers.

Wow - I actually have eight that are pretty much in constant use.

I've a pair of "beige-box" PCs, three Dell servers (PowerEdge 2650, 2 x 1650s), a Sun Ultra 10 and a pair of laptops including the one I'm currently using (PowerBook G4). This isn't counting my wife's PC or the Cisco managed switch that it all hangs off of. Processors range from the humble PII 300MHz in one of my beige boxes to the Dual core Xeon 2.4GHz in my 2650. OSs on the network - Solaris 9 (SPARC), Solaris 10 (x86), RHEL AS 4, SUSE 9.3, Gentoo 2006.1 and Mac OS X 10.4. These are running a variety of services (Web servers, DNS servers, J2EE servers (JBoss), DB (Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL), development boxes, etc, etc).

Cheers,
ZB
