I think you missed the point...
The survey topic is: "How many computers do you own?", not how many computers others have. Voting is not compulsory, nor is the viewing of the results if you don't care.
But the good news is: You can always go and find another page(s) that are more interesting to you and that you can see the point!

The surveys don't have to be useful, e.g.
http://www.codeproject.com/script/survey/detail.asp?survey=142
This one is useful however - you may make a licensing decisions basing on the expected computers per user, like to allow one copy per machine installed, or simple give a 'personal' license etc.

I don't see any point in trying to know how many computers others have.
I was just curious. I submitted the poll idea to Chris, and he must've been curious too since he accepted the idea. *shrug*

I have 3 desktops:
- P200, 96MB RAM, 13GB HD
- P2 400, 128MB RAM, 3GB HD
- Duron 750, 288MB RAM, 45GB HD
2 laptops:
- P100, crap
- P2 600
The desktops are pretty much mine, although I use the 750. The laptops are my dad's and are from his workplace. He has them most of the time. The parts that make up the computers have been gradually bought over the years, so they're not all that spectacular.
All are networked and share a cable modem connection. There is no domain server because none are on long perpetually, and electricity use is a concern. Quality deathmatches are rare because the computers aren't very good

Desktops:
PII 450, 640MB RAM, 26GB HD
P90, 64MB RAM, 1.2GB HD
486DX2/66, 16MB RAM, 340MB HD
Retro:
ZX Spectrum, 48K RAM, 360K Audio Tape?
Amiga 1200, 50MHz, 8MB RAM, 340MB HD
I've only got the PII and P90 connected. the 486 doesn't even have a FD. but the ZX has got an external Keyboard  (anyone who's got a Speccy should know why, or will know soon enough )

I was having a Timex 2048 which was a Speccy with extended graphics modes (colors for each line of 8 pixels or double horizontal resolution) and quite good keyboard.

2 PCs (1 my "real" machine, the other a Ghost machine used solely for testing) and my Palm Vx. My dust-collectors are my old HP H/PC (I used it a lot back in 1998!) and an old P120. The P120 might come out of the closet (heh) to serve as a router/firewall if I ever get a permanent connection at home.

How about museum items that are gathering dust om my desk? Beside my home PC I have an 8088 and a Luxor ABC80. ABC80 is not the best computer that's ever been made, but it has *a lot* of personality and It would be a shame to put it in the closet

I may be gathering dust, but I am not a museum item. 
And you don't lock me in no closet.

My closet has a perfectly preserved Olivetti M20.
I also have a Wang 370, but its not in the closet. Does that count? I could put it in the closet, I suppose...

About the oldest thing I have in my closet is a couple of Commadore 64s

Yeah--the oldest computers I have are MacSEs, which pale by comparison (in terms of museum quality!) to your Commadores!
I wish I still had my Ohio Scientific Challenger 1P--8K of RAM and I actually had a floppy disk!

My stepson has so many old 8088 and 8086 boxen and monochrome green monitors that he uses them for furniture: piles them up in the basement and puts plywood across the top to hold his tuntables and DJ equipment, just as I used to do at uni with cinderblocks and 1 x 6's for bookshelves.

Maybe the title should have been: "How sad are you?"
I have 15 I use regularly: W2K (Workstation, Laptop, PDC and BDC), UNIX (AIX, SUN * 2, HP-UX, Tru64, Linux), VMS (AXP * 2 and VAX * 2), AS/400.
I just hope the Tandem and MVS do not arrive in 2001 
My excuse is that I need them for my work!

15??? 
Chris

Yes,
I am the sole user, system manager etc. of these 15 boxes. I use C++ on them all, together with Perl, UNIX Shell, AS/400 CL and VMS DCL plus odds and ends of other languages.
Any wonder why I haven't looked at .NET or C# or whatever.
Cheers
