How many computers do you have (and what operating systems do you use?)

I'm a computer dork. I grew up on an Apple IIgs and then moved to the world of PCs. Between my husband and me, we have 9 computers (and 6 of them are mine).

Here's what I have:
1. A laptop for travel. I'm a journalist-blogger so I travel every so often to conferences. My 12" notebook works very well for liveblogging. The model: Dell Inspiron 700m with WinXP.
2. A laptop that I use as a desktop: My Dell XPS M1710 (also on XP) is my big productivity machine. It's a brick, but I love having so much screen real estate to get work done.
3. A Linux machine that I built myself: It's a simple setup running Fedora 8. I use it almost always remotely.
4. My media center: It's actually a full-sized ATX case that I built with 6 hard drives (plus 3 USB drives attached). I back up my photographs and store media (music, videos) on the computer. I actually never physically sit at the machine though! (And yes, you guessed it, it runs XP.)
5. An old Dell laptop: It's an Inspiron 8600 (with XP) that's about 4 years old. Runs XP and I use it to test applications for blog posts.
6. A Macbook Pro. I actually just got this and I'm starting to learn how to use it. (And in truth, it arrived with a small physical deformity so Apple has it now!)

My wife has another 700m (we distinguish ours because I have stickers on mine) and 2 Dell desktops. All run XP.

When it comes to computers, each serve different purposes as I mentioned before. I also salvage old parts to keep my older machines running. The desktops have had a long life (but I've had to take them apart more than five times due to hard drive failures, power supply problems, and whatever else is related to a failing computer) but I'm big on laptops (especially warranties) so I try to stay current on all of them.

What about you?

IBM's latest supercomputer crunches numbers at enormous speeds-and will soon be put to use for nuclear warfare.


Any comments?

To top it off my business desktop has three screens for multitasking, which comes in quite useful when you have outlook/ff/photoshop/dreamweaver/excel/word/wmp/explorer all open at the same time (which I do most always).
