Well, I have my computers spread over two provinces (Canada) and one State (USA). But, where I am at the moment, I have: 1. Gateway Celeron500 win98 laptop - my main machine 2. Dell PIII Inspiron win98 laptop - kind of a backup machine 3. Dell PIII500 Latitude win2K laptop - my new secondary machine 4. Toshiba P166 Libretto win98 - my uber portable machine :) 5. Noname P233 Linux - web and mail server for my domain 6. Custom made case with Industrial SBC Celeron466 win 2k - controls my room lighting :) 7. Old IBM industrial case with Industrial SBC Celeron 466 - backup for 6 8. Noname P233 - unused 9. IBM Ambra Cyrix 5x86 - unused 10. Compaq 486 - was what served my domain before #5 - now unused 11. Hitachi p133 win95 laptop - former main machine, now mostly unused 12. Magitronic laptop - not too happy, won't boot reliably, unused Everything is run off a 24 port 3com Superstack II dual speed hub, with a wireless access point for when I need freedom to roam. I also have two printers (an HP Deskjet 1120C widecarriage inkjet, and an HP Laserjet 4P) with print servers that also live off the network. As I start to work more with embedded ethernet, I plan on setting up a parallel network for testing that can be connected to the main network when I need internet access on those machines. I also have a PocketPC that connects wirelessly, and let's not even talk about the Palms (about 3 working, 1 broken, mainly used for control of other things). I have a 20" a 17" and a 15" monitor, all with KVMs to allow access to all machines (I run dual monitors on most of the laptops). And all this in a room about 15' by 10'. It's a little crowded...I built stands, so most things are stacked, for example, monitors on top of laptops. Oh yeah, I know I'm a geek.
