    That's quite a list! Good to see a range of operating systems - always handy to be able to test things out on different machines!

    What do you do with them all? ;)

    well the Gateway I use for the heavy video and other editing.
    the emac is just for play I have some emulators on it .
    the Toshiba is my working traveler work and home.
    the 722 is mainly for testing and browsing the web.
    c640 is just pushing the limits and I hate seeing on old machine on the shelf.
    The dell Ispirion I'm planning on pushing to the upgrade limit.
    The acer3400 I haven't decided yet.
    As for the little acer hackintosh that was just to see if I could do it.:)

    Ahh...the good ol' Hackintosh!

    You can't beat the satisfaction of making something do something that it was never designed or intended for!

    Nice set of machines you have there :cool:

    Whoa, you have a cool set of computers there! I can now imagine all the tons of stuff you could do with them, especially that each of them has a function of their own.

    But either way, I really don't think you have "too many computers". If each and every one of them serves a purpose that the other couldn't, and if they're doing their jobs very well, I don't see a reason for anything to be said to be "too much".

    nice!. if you are into gaming you might as well build a good pc for gaming. if you think they are too many then you can always sell some of them unless you are a collector. would probably buy one if we lived in the same area.

    That is a lot of computers that you have. I think with all those operating systems that you are running you must be tech savvy guy who feels like exploring more options when it comes to operating systems.

    That's quite a nice list there, more than I have even! Very handy to have so many computers to use as baselines for testing different software or plugins.

    Nice, you should think about raiding some of your computers for parts or selling them. There's no point having 9 average computers when you could easily have a hand full of great computers. Just something to think about.

    Wow so many computers for your personal use. I would just keep one with the Mac OS, Windows OS and Linux OS. I don't see the point in having so many computers just for yourself. If you have relatives using them then that would be okay but if not then you should probably sell a few.

    Have a laptop that's of good quality but not so expensive. What we do is research first before buying a gadget. :)
