How many computers in the house?

Todd Burch

9/14/2007 3:30:00 PM

I went to the Lone Star Ruby Conference last week. 7 of us went out to
dinner one night, and we counted up how many computers each of us had at
home, that were operational and could be use if needed.

We counted 53 between the 7 of us. I only have 6, others had over 14.

What's your inventory count?

2 completely operational, and 2 that only need ram or a video card. :)
BUT 4 that have ruby installed!

Heh. I own 0 computers. Ownership is so 20th century.

Well, there are 5 that are currently work and at least 5 that don't
(but 1 or 2 of those would just need a new O/S install, but they're
kinda old).

You haven't addressed Todd's original question. He didn't ask about
ownership, he asked computers you "had at home, that were
operational". Whether you own it or not wasn't part of the requirement.

I love collecting computers. So far I have:
3 x x86 Desktop/Server (Linux, FreeBSD)
1 x x86 Laptop (Linux)
1 x Sun Ultra 60 (Linux, Solaris)
1 x Apple PowerMac G4 (OS X)
1 x Apple PowerMac G5 (Linux, OS X)
1 x SGI Octane (Linux, Irix)

Yes, Ruby runs on all of them...

Still 0, at the moment. Got rid of an 8 year old linux box a few weeks ago.

Counting not only mine, but also the SigO's:

RUNNING
2 laptops (FreeBSD and Debian, both with Ruby)
1 desktop (MS Windows XP, soon to be FreeBSD instead)
3 servers (FreeBSD,Debian, and Debian, all with Ruby)

SOON TO BE RUNNING
1 game machine (FreeBSD, with Ruby)

SOON TO BE PLAYED WITH, OPERATIONAL STATUS UNKNOWN
2 mini PC systems
2 Sun IPCs
1 ancient Sony Vaio
1 Sun Sparcstation

OPERATIONAL, BUT PROBABLY JUNKED SOON
1 Toshiba laptop, 75MHz CPU (Slackware, broken screen)
1 ancient pizza-box form factor (Debian)

Then, of course, there are the various non-operational systems. I'm
pretty sure I haven't forgotten any of the operational systems, though
there may be one or two x86 "operational status unknown" systems I
forgot. The stuff in the "unknown" category will probably, as I get
(some of?) them running, will probably become a test network -- though I
may end up giving a couple away.

Holy guacamole !


I've got five operational, four of which are in-use:

- winxp / i386 (development system)
- os x / ppc (development system)
- debian linux / i386 (NAT / router)
- win2k / i396 (wife's pc)
- debian linux / i386 (spare NAT / router)

All have ruby installed. :)

Bill
