One that works and four that are boat anchors.

Four isnt bad. My brother-in-law had close to 100. He had a shed full of them here. Not long ago he went through them and hauled about 60 to the dump. He claims the rest work, he plans on giving them to the school. In his house he only has around 10. Three he has hooked up, one for him, one for his kids and one for his grandkids. Everyone was using his and they screwed it up with some of the crap they went into.

Wow! That's a lot of computers! How did he ever wind up with so many?

He collects stuff like that. He finds then at dumps, people give him old ones that dont work anymore. Hes pretty sharp at fixing them up. He got a bunch that a school threw out because they were obsolete. He said he can update them. I wish I knew that much about them.

He is and he's mostly self-taught. What I know about about computers you could write on your thumbnail. You get to know a little about something, then they change it to some complicated mess.

I have a desktop, laptop, iPad and Kindle Fire. Does a smartphone count? I use the desktop & iPad the most. I sort of "inherited" the laptop when my father-in-law died. But I LOVE my iPad. :D
