>>By the last count, there were more computers than people in the house - 4 desktops (2 still in use), 3 laptops, 3 gaming machines, 4 computers-with-radio (aka cell phones, though we don't have a cell, just normal rooms) out of which two are in the range of multifunction machines, 2 computers with lenses (aka digital cameras), two computers with needles (aka sewing machines with microprocessors, one of them quite serious), and then the two scanners and two printers have their processors too, right? And then there's the mp3 flash player, that also has a processor... now you tell me which of these qualify as computers and which don't :).

>Wow. A lot of high-tech stuff.

That's just the way we prioritize stuff - still driving a 1994 Corolla, TV is just 20" (and it's mostly there for the PS2 - haven't watched more than 6 hours of regular programme whole month, so why bother), stereo (a mid 80s JVC) was $40 on eBay, radio is the simple plastic boom box from '99...
