For bragging rights, my current tally is
1 Dell Dimension 4600 (wife)
1 Dell Dimension 4700 (kids)
1 Dell PowerEdge SC420 (mine)
1 Dell Latitude (old, mine)
1 IBM Thinkpad X41 (mine)
1 Toshiba Satellite (old, wife)
Thinking about adding either a Dell Latitude D620 or IBM Thinkpad T60 soon.

Why three laptops, and two for the wife?

1 8 year old Compaq desktop
1 1 year old Compaq desktop
1 7 year old Compaq laptop
1 3 year old Compaq laptop
1 3 month old Compaq laptop (for the wife)
Looking to get a new laptop for myself in June...probably Compaq.
I have not had the problems with the Compaq line that others have had. Brand loyalty, I guess...

You do realize that the last two Compaq's you've purchased, and any future Compaq's you purchase, are actually Hewlett-Packard PC's?
(I liked Compaq better before HP bought them out)

Galaxy. The Toshiba is a laptop that I retired 5+ years ago. My wife uses the old Toshiba because she has some sewing software (with a sewing machine) that works in DOS! Believe it or not, there's not a Windows version yet.
The Latitude was formerly my primary laptop and is now a backup for my current X41. Its sitting around unused.
Daimyo. I'm not a FPS or hardcore gamer, so the GMA 900, MX400 and ATI 9250 in my Dells works great. Minimal issues with my Dimensions so far and you can't beat the price/configuration if you look out for the sales.
I know folks think Dell sell crappy equipment, but from my experience the Dimensions are great.

1 custom desktop PC (a good 3-4 years old, in need of an ugprade)
2 ThinkPad T23s (original one was a P3 1.2Ghz, but the system board went out on me, got another for $350 that's the 1.13Ghz model) My 1.2 is a 1400 res, and this 'new' one is just a 1024 res.
