Hmm...

1 laptop at home
1 laptop at office.
1 Windows desktop at office.
1 Linux desktop at office.
And then a couple of handhelds vi.z a PPC2003 device and a Windows Mobile 5.0 device.
That makes it 6 !

Vino,

Please don't count computers at your office, only at your home or home/office.

(they must be in your home).

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,

Amazing!

You can count your wife's pc! (but no counting routers, hubs, and switches unless they are "real" pcs or servers).....

Sounds like you have 9!!

Java 4 over here :)
Two laptops, xp and sled t60 and t30. Love my sled 10 t30 ThinkPad, works better then my t60 xp box most of the time. Two desktops, both xp, one for rebuilding a testing out in the garage, other is mostly used by the wife (but it's about to become a duel boot, w/ sled 10). Thanks for the fun topic Neo.

One. This laptop I am typing on right now. It's got 1GB RAM, 120GB HDD, and I forget any other specs. It's dual booting Windows XP and Slackware Linux; I use Linux for just about everything, but if for some reason I need to boot into windows for something (rare), I will keep windows.
