It's too many if you have them all plugged in and blow a fuse. ;)

There it is. 42 gadgets defines a maximum good life - and the universe. Those boys with too many toys are not happier.

3 pc's, 1 netbook, 6 digital cameras, 1 Nook SimpleTouch, 1 ColorNook, and uncountable cell phones.

That's too damn many gadgets.

ETA: Forgot the spare pc in the closet.

I must be doing something wrong.

How do y'all afford all these toys?

Two words:

Pawn shops.

Plus, I'm an old horsetrader, from way back.

You buy them over the years and don't throw them away.

About a year ago, I paid to get rid of two old Macs. They had built-in monitors and so I had to pay $15 each to get rid of them. I had a couple external CD burners that I also got rid of, and a flat bed scanner that had the wrong cables to connect to anything I still owned.

I just picked up a broken laptop and a really old laptop from my dad, so now I have 3 old laptops (1 is broken), 1 old desktop, 1 work blackberry, 1 old iPod, and 1 GPS for the car. So that's 7 items. My wife has a smart phone and my daughter has an iPod Touch. So that's 9 gadgets. And I just got that fancy new thermostat, so that brings our household up to 10.

Heh. My brother believes in a TV in every room. I love me some gadgets, but I'm always astounded at everything they have being state of the art, and how much of it they have.

And I'm a horrible saver from way back. Been wanting to save up for a TV from this century for some time now...but there's always another shirt to buy or beer to drink. :lol:

TVs are coming down in price. They were like $800 for a 32 inch, but now you can get a decent one for $300. A regular TV should cost $300. The prices are fair now.

Mostly I'd like a bigger TV because of all the movies I watch.

I looked at some at The Wally World.

Where would be the best place to buy?

So how come what your wife and daughter have is classified as "yours"? Surely you have 7, wife has 1 and daughter has 1. :eyebrow:

Well then none of the computers are mine because we all share them, and the phone is a work phone. So I guess the old iPod and the thermostat are mine. And I suppose my wife would say the broken laptop is all mine. Come to think of it, my wife uses the thermostat more than I do, so that's really hers more than mine, even though it was a gift to me. So really the old iPod is mine. And the broken laptop. I have 2 items.

Just this ashtray is mine... And this paddle game. - The ashtray and the paddle game are mine... And this remote control. - The ashtray, the paddle game, and the remote control, are mine... And these matches. - The ashtray, and these matches, and the remote control, and the paddle ball... And this lamp. :D

:lol:

...and my dog. And that's ALL I NEED!!

C'mon, Shithead.

:D The Jerk was one of Steve's best.
