We have a MacBook Pro, a MacBook, an iMac 24, an Airport Express, a 1 tb Time Capsule, two iPod Nano, an iPod Touch and an iPhone. I think that adds up to nine.
I didn't pay for too much of this stuff myself. When I did contracting, many of my clients would send me hardware on which they wanted things tested in some particularly interesting combinations. We also have an XP based HP NetBook, an Acer laptop (chosen because it was the cheapest portable at BestBuy) and a kicking fast HP desktop both running the vinux 3.0 beta GNU/Linux distro, a Vista desktop, an XP desktop and a ton of external hard disks, USB thumb drives, a Victor Stream, a PAC Mate 40, two dogs (one guide one pet), about 30 fishing rods rigged for all sorts of habitats, a really nice Kurzweil SP88 Pro electronic piano and a partridge in our grapefruit trees. Come to think of it, we own way too much shit. If any of you are interested in accessible GNU/Linux distros like vinux, please write to me off-list and I'd be happy to field your questions to the best of my ability.
