Computer ownership
How many computers have you owned?
Not counting my business purchases of computers but just my personal purchases of computers.
I can count a total of 8 computers ( 2 where Apples)
Presently we have one tower unit and two wireless laptops

1 NEC desktop we got when I was in 5th grade
1 Pionex desktop we got when I was probably a freshman (took to college 4 years later)
1 Sony Vaio desktop we got when I was a senior
1 HP laptop bought before sophomore year of college
1 HP laptop bought after graduating college
1 Macbook Pro bought in October '08 (first unibody version, sold to my mom a couple weeks ago since I got a brand new Macbook Pro for work and don't need two)
1 custom build tower running Windows 7 that I build about 6 months ago.
That makes 7.
I learned to use the computer on my grandparents Tandy growing up. DOS = GOAT.

First PC I built was a 386dx40, 125mb harddrive, 5 1/4 floppy running state of the art DOS 5.0 and Windows 3.0.(about 20 years ago) Now I have an IBM/Lenovo dual core laptop. In between there have been 6 desktop/towers and 4 laptops.

One; an HP I bought before my freshmen year of college in the summer of 2008. I love it. I'll probably buy another one for grad/law school, one with like 8+ GB of RAMM and 500 GB of space. I use two external hard drives for my itunes and torrents programs and to store my music/movies, so the space isn't a big deal.

5 desktops (my first was an 80286 with 640K RAM . . . back in the day with DOS and QBASIC).
1 laptop (Dell D610 Latitude--on its last legs at this point).
Soon to buy another laptop.

Just one. I've had the same one since I was 12. Going on 17 years now. Of course it was a Mac.
In actuality, I've had 5 Desktop PC's.
