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

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.

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.

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? |

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.
