So, how many computers do you/your family own in total? One, Four, onety-four? Do you know the specs?

If I combined all the computers that I AND my family owns (technically cheating), it would be 6 -- One Celeron 466, One P3 933, One P4 1.4, One P4 2.4, One P4 2.8 (which I overclocked to 3.36), and one laptop that's P4 2.8

Okay your turn! And be sure to um....yeah!

Three. My own, my family's computer, and the computer my sister uses for homework and my dad uses for video camera stuff.

I know I own one; I think my dad has two, my grandma has one, and my mother has a broken one I've been meaning to fix. I'm too lazy to request the specs, but I'm pretty sure my dad has the best. And I've got the worst.

Two desktops (PII 266 MHz, P4 1.8 GHz) and a laptop (quite a good one, don't know the specs).

I have (alive) an oma, a popa, a grandma, a 'gum gum', a great grandma, a mum, a dad, a stepmum, an ex-stepdad, a 'mum's boyfriend', a sister, a brother in law, a stepsister, a stepbrother, a half sister, well over 30 cousins and stepcousins (possibly over 40), well over 20 aunts and uncles... my family gets to be pretty big, so I have no bloody clue how many PC's I have (while technically cheating).

While not technically cheating, I own one PC and my direct family owns an additional four, (sister and brother-in-law have one, dad & co have an additional two, mum & her boyfriend have an additional one, and I suppose you can say five if you include my ex-stepdad who also has one).

Include work PC's and I have an extra one at work.

So one, really. I plan on buying a second and inheriting a third (I've told my Dad to not throw out the old 386 which the family calls a oversized paperweight because it's the PC that I grew up on).

Just in my house there are 6 working computers. 5 are hooked to the internet. ^_^

And um, some other family members have computers too. Yeah. :joker:

There are two computers in the house/family. One is a 75 MHz Pentium, which doesn't work, but we're trying to get it fixed in order not to have to go and buy another computer because one is just not enough for what we need it for. I think it would be a waste of time to even try to get it working again though because you really wouldn't be able to do much on it anyways...except use Messangers and Word, etc. Using the net would be excrutiating on it.

The one working computer is a 933 MHz Pentium III, which is quite old in itself and is in constant use all day long. As soon as one person gets up, someone else steals their spot, so I'll probably end up having to buy a new one pretty soon and then there will be three computers. :)

My family has two but one is new but still packed. My mom's sister owns one. My dad's brother owns one and his sister owns one too. We have ancient Commodore computer-type thing but we deny owning it.

I have B computers in my house, observe:

This one I'm on right now (the family computer, the only good one (good means internet-capable) (Pentium 4 Processor, Dell Inspiron 4600 Series))
The one I used to use up here, which died in August.
The one before that one, which still works and is currently downstairs.
The one before that one, which was like a 386 or something. Dead.
The PC-Junior. Dead.

w00t.

EDIT: Also, my brother and father have laptops, neither of which are currently in the house. My brother's is at university with him, and my dad's is at work with him. :mastersha

Three, and they all suck, =p

Actually, the one I'm using is pretty good.
Mine:
- 1.3GHZ Athlon XP
- 256MB GeForce FX 5200
- 512MB Ram

The others are crappy with like... P3's at 300~500mhz, and less than 256 mb ram, and the vid cards are crappy with like 8MB of video ram, haha.

Four. The "family" computer that I use 99% of the time, my stepmoms laptop, and my dads two laptops. One is new and one is old.

But of COURSE, he doesn't give me the old one, like any SANE father would do. He KEPT it.

GOD. >;0

I have my super crime-busting computer all set up in De Lete Cave. It has everything, crime scene alayisis, state of the art T4 connection speed and Pentium 7 processor. Yet I can't seem to get Half Life to work...

Mine(Celeron 566MHZ) and my parents(Pentium 200MHZ). And we didn't buy either of them they were given to us.

Yes, we're dirt poor. :(

4 PCs, 4 laptops in this house (one PC, one laptop is mine). These include a P2 450 MHz, Athlon Thunderbird 1.2 GHz, Athlon Thunderbird 1.33 GHz, Athlon XP 1.53 GHz, Pentium M 1.3 GHz, P3 1.2 GHz, AMD Athlon XP 2 Ghz, and P4M 2 GHz. Excluding my PC, there's about 1 TB of disk space between the other 7. My PC itself has 1.1 TB :D

Over the past few weeks though, I've been using between 3 and 5 of these on my own simultaneously due to the amount of processing power the work I'm doing requires :p VNC is great at saving me getting up and walking around physically to each one :p
