I helped my sister and her boyfriend move into their apartment yesterday and the number of computer stuff they have is just staggering. LOL
The boyfriend I think has a masters in computer science so he obviously needs many computers lol. You should see his desk set up. He has 3 monitors and a formidable looking computer. It looks like it has armour. LOL. He also has a large laptop and another desktop. My sister is doing her masters in biochem so she also needs computers. My sister has her laptop and desktop too. They may have other stuff, I dunno. LOL So between the two of them, they have a minimum of 5 computers and 4 flat screen monitors. lol
On top of that they just bought like a 48 inch flat screen TV. lol
I guess I am not that environmentally conscious either. I have a desktop and little netbook. lol

I'm happy with just the one. But it has to be fast enough to run my programs without annoying me, and reliable.
So right now I have an unreliable extra, which will be handed down to my son to use when it's working. (Also to stand in reserve, if heaven forbid mine goes to the shop.) And his old slow one, the one that can't run all his games with all their options, will be kept on hand as a standby for when new unreliable breaks down.
Ah to be young with two incomes again. Although I wouldn't give up my son for all the flat screen TV's in the world. :)
Although admittedly, each of us has a Tivo. We can't stand watching TV anymore without one. Commercials, yuck.

One large computer and one laptop with roter to the big one and even that is too much. Dinah what's a Tivo? We record shows watch about l5 minutes a night when eating dinner on couch. Phillipa
