I'm down to four - my wife's Dell laptop, my old t23, a new macbook and a Dell 9100. I'm thinking about getting rid of the macbook and the 9100 for a 20" intel imac. So much less clutter.

* This laptop was specially built off an iBook clamshell to take a trip to Cancun, Mexico. It was an unexpected test of it's purportedly indestructible construction. The Linux operating system did not survive (thanks to the TSA), though the hardware got battered heavily, it still functions fully. It presently sits, awaiting a fresh install of a new, airport-security-proof operating system.

And if you want to count my show pieces -
IBM PC
IBM PC XT
IBM PC AT
Tandy 1000TL
Tandy 1000RL
TRS-80
CoCo 2
CoCo 3
80GHz in loose CPUs of nearly every type and description.

heh wow. what do you do and why so many?

Pr0n storage

Anyway.

The answer for me is 7

5 gaming rigs (lowest is a P4 2.8C with a 6800GT, newest a A64 4400+, but there are 2 of those)
and 2 laptops, 1 for work, one is a Macbook

ok im no expert (hahahah ok i know very little) on networking. but wouldnt 1 firewall work on all the computers?

Umm Yeah with a properly setup router w/firewall support.
