(I know Gaywood will win this but lets see how close the rest of us can get) I just set up the boy's school laptop downstairs for youngest to play on the Cbeebies web site while the wife and I do some work. It then occured to me that we had three laptops all using the internet as well as our phones and then I thought how much stuff have I got that's connected to the 'net. Here's mine - what's yours? 3 x laptop 2 x iPhone 2 x iPod Touch 1 x PS3 1 x Wii 2 x Xbox 360 1 x FreesatHD box Grand total of 12 connected devices. |

Is this always, often, or potentially connected? If it's often, I've got a linux server, a Windows media server, two PCs, two laptops (one Windows, one Ubuntu), an iPad, Zune, iPhone, HTC Desire, Kindle (if that counts), a NAS, two 360s, PS3, Wii, and the Sky Box. If it's potentially, there's a MacBook and a few more PCs on the list, as well as my G1 and N95. Oh, and my DS and PSP. The Wii should perhaps be on this list. [edit]Er, I really should cancel my Sky account, considering I'm leaving the house in four days. Maybe. |

Trousers wrote: (I know Gaywood will win this but lets see how close the rest of us can get) Nah, I'm already behind some other people's numbers. If I list just, say, stuff that would have been active on my network (defined as "asked my router for an IP address") in the last week:1x Macbook 1x PC 1x Mediaserver 2x consoles (PS3, Xbox 360) 1x iPad 1x iPhone 1x printer 1x TV 2x Airport Expresses (they get an IP over DHCP but are arguably cheating!) =11, including the AEs. If we then list stuff I have that is disconnected or rarely turned on: 2x consoles (PSP, Wii) 2x other computers (that would only need to be plugged in and switched on to work) I have another half a dozen, at least, computers in the attic in various states of disrepair but they don't count. Danielle will only add two to this list (her Macbook and her iPhone). |

On a regular basis I would say only my computer, iPhone and Xbox. Other stuff would include DS, Wii (neither of which get turned on very often at all) and the work laptop. I guess I'm not that technologically advanced after all. |

This is cheating a bit. 4 x 360 1 x Wii 3 x Desktop pcs 2 x laptops 1 x netbook 1 x bluray player 1 x V+ box 1 x tv 1 x Galaxy S I've also got a G1 that's soon to be sold, and a pda, psp and ds that don't get used much. I do have another laptop, but the wireless card is a bit knackered so even if I do use it, it probably doesn't go online. I could also add another pc, a ps2 and an xbox into the mix, but sadly I don't have a broadband adaptor for my dreamcast. |

I don't have anything that's connected to the internet, including this PC. I post here magically, with my powers. Other than that, nothing in the house. There's a bunch of stuff that could connect to the internet, if (a) I could be arsed and/or (b ) I wanted it to. |

My list... 3 desktop PCs 1 laptop 1 netbook 3 phones 1 Wii Potentially there's the 2 dreamcasts (the broadband adapter is far too costly but I did buy a 56k modem to replace the 33k one it comes with... woo!) too, but I'd have to find them first. I did have a Saturn modem too but I think that it only worked on US hardware so I got rid of it |
