So how many gadgets is too many?

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.
