How many PCs do you own?

[Deja Q]

Poll question: How many PCs do you own?

Jus' curious:

I have 4 PC desktops, one PC laptop, one Amiga, enough spare parts to make another Amiga, a Mac LC III. Total: 8

PDAs do not count (thugh I have a Palm Tungsten T3 and Compaq 4355)

[Cobalt Violet]

1. Do Commodore 64s count?

I have just 1 laptop.

[qnr]

15. Of course, just like my 8-bit Ataris

[Osamasux]

26. My cousin's husband and I have had that argument

going for what, about 25 years now? You win hands down on graphics, I will give you that.

Anyone still have an Amiga?

[qnr]

28. Quite a few, apparently, including me. I've seen 4 in this thread

I think.

[Osamasux]

24. I still have my C64, too.

With the external tape and floppy drives.

[Ladyhawk]

2. How's this: I don't know.

I have parts stacked to the ceiling in boxes. I am planning on building computers out of them, but I don't know how many computers the parts equal. Probably about six or seven, but even then I'll have to buy more parts. :shrug:

[Placebo]

3. I don't own PCs. I own Macs.

:P

Power Mac + iBook = 2

Yay! I can add! :party:

[qnr]

16. I took it as generic personal computer :) n/t

[BigMcLargehuge]

4. three windows junkers

three macs (iMac G3 350, B/W G3 400 tower, Dual 1.25 G MDD Powermac)

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. 6.

A Commodore 64, a Mac Plus, an old Mac Powerbook, a Mac desktop, vintage 1995, an iBook, and an iMac G5. I don't know what to do with obsolete computers, so they just accumulate.

[Cobalt Violet]

7. Oh, Commodore 64s count.

Then I should've voted 2. I had no idea if it was a PC or not.

[fluffernutter]

6. 1 Toshiba laptop and 1 Dell desktop. oh and

1 broken *sniff* little 12" Sony laptop that i loved...sigh.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

8. Bingbingbingbingbing!!!

THE MAN HAS AN AMIGA!!!

I knew there was something I liked about you! ;-)

Coolest computer that ever was. Period.

Seen the new ones yet? Google "AmigaOne".

[Deja Q]

9. The connection was refused!

:cry:

But this one works: http://amigaone-linux.sourceforge.net/index.php !

Thanks for the info!

(I'm hoping there's more about me to like! :D)

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

10. Hmmm...

Well, google up "AmigaOS 4.0". It's out there. I have a number of friends who have one and they really love it.

Ever hear of Team AMIGA?

[serryjw]

11. WHY does anyone have THAT MANY computers?

do you have that many people in your home?

[Osamasux]

25. I'll have different ones running different tasks,

some for work, some for the family. Some serving music, some running different O/S's, compiling code, dedicated to Gaming, dedicated for burning.

Basically, if you don't know why you would need several, you don't need them.

[serryjw]

34. No doubt.......

but there is only me in the household. I have not taught Einstein the boot up yet.

[mcscajun]

12. Three

One Dell Dimension Desktop that's four years old and showing its age; one Compaq desktop given to me that'll be replacing the Dell shortly; and an IBM Thinkpad that I haven't used in ages, 'cause it's on Windows 3.11!

[SarahB]

13. one living, three dead

[CO Liberal]

35. Same Here

Two dead desktops, one dead laptop, and one brand-new eMachines desktop, on which I'm typing this message.

[vixengrl]

36. Oh, wow, this is my story!

There's the one I'm on right now I rummaged up from my parent's house after hubby's laptop died (hubby's laptop goes in my total, because what's mine is mine and what's his is mine). His laptop I was using because I killed (or rather, some kind of hand of god electrical event appears to have killed) my previous desktop. Hubby's laptop is screwed up, I believe, due to some kind of potentially irreconcilable spyware/aol/microsoft goofiness--I believe it it can be fixed, but eh? And then I have another PC desktop at my parent's house, which my brother is making into a Frankenputer with the remains of the zapped one.

14. Somewhere around 18 or so useable PC's of different vintages.

Going from my fist computer, a TI-99/4A which I still have in its entirety, to the homebuilt one I'm using now and several in between. Plus about 8 laptops, from an early TI 286 to the Toshiba P-III I use now. I'm just a packrat.

[MissBrooks]

17. Must have more PC Power!!!

[qnr]

18. quite a few

Homebuilt one I'm on now, Compaq laptop. 2 other Athlons w/Linux, an Atari 800, Atari 800XL, Atari 130XE, A few Atari STs and STes, an Atari TT, 2 Amigas, a Kim-1 (with a whopping 256 bytes of RAM and a hex keypad), and probably some I'm forgetting about (many of them are in storage back in Maine)

[donheld]

19. I own 1 Toshiba laptop

however, 75% of my posts have been made from one PC or another at work.

[proud2BlibKansan]

20. I own a Mac

that's not a PC. So I voted none.

[Deja Q]

29. Well, I know the Mac is more of a toy, but it is technically a PC.

"Personal Computer" is the official term for any consumer-grade computer. Personal. :D

I know it isn't a toy by any means, but I had to get your attention. :spank:


BTW: Please READ my post. I had included my Mac LC III as one of my computers from the vert start, knowing Mac users are just as welcomed to respond. O8)

[Clarkie1]

21. Two right now, but soon just my brand new ibook...buh bye windows!

[TOhioLiberal]

22. I have...

personally just one. However, my husband and both boys have computers also. My husband calls them 'franken-puters' :) :7

[guitar man]

23. 3 plus enough parts

to build one, maybe two more. I have one that is a dedicated music workstation in my studio, one internet computer at home and another internet computer I keep at work so I can surf without prying company eyes watching what I'm doing.

I have a big box of parts with I know a couple of good motherboards and processors, assorted video cards, ram etc.

Oh, and I have an old Packard Bell out in the shed, but I never really considered that to be a computer in the first place.

[gollygee]

27. The whole family or just me?

I have one. I think we have 6 around here altogether although only 4 of them are used at all.

[Longgrain]

30. Only one here...

that I had to max-out my credit card to get -sniff-

unless you consider the hard drive from my old one which I still have...

[baldguy]

31. Two. And pieces of another.

[GOPisEvil]

32. One old, crotchety laptop, and slightly younger, smoother desktop.

[Touchdown]

33. In response to number 10...

I have a Mac. I browse, search, surf, and post on a Mac. A Mac is a work of ART! Everything else is just a PC.:evilgrin:

[RadicalMom]

37. I donate the ones that aren't up to snuff, if they want them...

And they usually do, because they have volunteer geeks who help them to upgrade them cheaply, use them for parts, etc. One PC went to a school, one to a charity for developmentally disabled adults to either use or sell in their thrift shop, one older Mac to the same thrift shop, and my Amiga to a charity that helps the homeless in LA, who had someone who actually knew how to use it. We bought it to do graphics on and could never get the support we needed to figure the thing out. We did manage to play "It Came From the Desert" on it, which was a great game based on the movie "Them" and you battled giant ants. Wish we had it for the PCs. Our in-use computers are 2 desktop HP PCs, one Mac G4 and this pretty new HP laptop.
