    How many computers do you have running at your house? Me, I am tipping the scales at 5. 1 Game machine. 1 Laptop 1 Linux Box 1 Dev Box 1 Beefy box to handle my VMs for testing, builds, and playing with betas. I've recently "simplified" things a bit in order to get down to this number :). Before depending on what I was developing or testing I would have anywhere from 8 - 10 boxes running. I am looking at cutting it down further if I can reasonably move my dev box and linux box to a VM.

    A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. - -Lazarus Long, Time Enough For Love

                    2 computers at the home office not counting the laptop. Both are dual processor amd boxes running gentoo linux running the usual suite of office applications and games. On top of this both are running MythTV (3 total tuners) which is basically a very configurable very much more advanced TIVO.

                                Just one which all my familiy uses (mainly me, but my mom also sometimes). My dad and my brother have their own laptops, and I have my laptop which I sometimes take home.

                                  How many computers do you have running at your house? Me, I am tipping the scales at 5. 1 Game machine. 1 Laptop 1 Linux Box 1 Dev Box 1 Beefy box to handle my VMs for testing, builds, and playing with betas. I've recently "simplified" things a bit in order to get down to this number :). Before depending on what I was developing or testing I would have anywhere from 8 - 10 boxes running. I am looking at cutting it down further if I can reasonably move my dev box and linux box to a VM.

                                  Currently running 3, but I have a total of 7 computers, 4 of which are strewn about in various stages of decay.

                                      4, plus several virtual machines 1) mine, shared by my mother and father (yes, I'm still living with them), dual-booting XP and Vista Beta 2) my sister's 3) a file server/iis/virtual machines host 4) a notebook, that is currently serving as a paperweight if you count the virtual machines, I have 3 Windows Server 2003, two XPs, two Vistas and the Visual Studio Orcas (that I'm still trying to get it to work)

                                          My personal machines:     Desktop machine for development work and testing     Laptop for portability etc Others in the house     My sisters desktop     Sisters laptop     Dad's backup server Others in Pi Logic (home-run business)     Front-desk - for emails and Skype phone     Mum's - Accounting & personal use     FPGA development machine     Dad's laptop     EEPROM programmer laptop (running at 66MHz :omg:)     2x File Servers     2x Embedded Software Development     2x old laptops for various testing on old systems.     AutoCAD machine (running DOS and getting its power from a tractor battery) Others in PL2 (Pi Logic 2), 2nd Pi Logic building     3 for various testing and accessing the network And probably another 5 or 6 in pieces which have been canabalised. So in total there are 20 operational computers exluding any micros.

                                          You'd have to be specific here because we refer to house as the entire farm, as you can see these computers are spread across three buildings but takes under a minute to walk from either extremity.


                                          If you're stuck in a rut: 1) Consult the documentation* 2) Google it 3) Ask a sensible question 4) Try an ancient ritualistic knowledge summoning (:badger::badger::badger:) dance :jig: 5) Phone :bob: * - If the documentation is MSDN > 6.0 then forget it!
