So how many gadgets is too many?
 
I have a Nokia C7, an iPod touch (4th gen), just acquired my Best Beloved's iPad 1, and have a Kindle (keyboard) which I never use, though keep loading books onto it, and an Eeepeecee. netbook for work travel purposes.
I'm finding it hard to imagine what I'll use the iPad for - it's just he has a newer one so I thought I'd road test it. Then again, I like the look of the Nexus 7 ... but shouldn't it replace something (or things) that I already have?
Your thoughts, please ...

I still use a flipphone and my Nook was a surprise gift...I kept telling my husband that I would never get a reader, but he couldnt resist getting me one anyway. Thats it for gadgets. They bother my practical side. However, I have found a wonderfully practical use for my Nook. When I find a recipe on line, now I can have it in the kitchen with me, without having to copy it.

You can NEVER have too many free gadgets, otherwise, it depends on your needs and available funds.

Number of gadgets should equal N+1 where N is the number of gadgets owned.

I think this thread is about to turn into another discussion of the nature of infinity.

How many gadgets are too many? 42. As defined in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe.

Send me your spare gadgets.
I will nurture them into retirement.

I've gotten into this surreal place in my life where I'm sitting in a room with a friend or two in it, with my laptop on my lap, checking my facebook on my cell phone.

I don't think I like it here, and my kids are going to grow up with a cell-phone-computer attached to their faces... I don't like that either.

[thread drift]I must say I could happily adopt either of "my" spammers names ... rhybrinignany and especially SoliFlato! Don't you think this last sounds like he (or she) enjoys farting alone in bed?[/thread drift]

Let's not mess with the brilliant work of Douglas Adams.

Some of the best work gets quoted multiple times. If in doubt, then ask the Google search engine.

Yes, but in HGTTG, 42 is not the answer to how many gadgets constitutes too many. 42 is the answer to the meaning of life, the universe, and everything. By stating that 42 i s the answer to the maximum number of gadgets one can possess, you're employing a paradigm that doesn't exist.
