Make that 6. Just found another. Looks like 1G PIII Dell Latitude WITH a serial port.  Now that could be useful....

I've got x2 Dell D410's, x1 D610 and 5 or so working C600's upstairs... does this mean i'm a geek?  

Plus i've got a new D430 coming next week...  

I must be a geek then!

No mate.. your no Geek...

I don’t actually know how many laptops I own  

I have at least 6 laptops that will work straight away as they are, probably another 5/6 which just need an OS installing. And another half a dozen which are in bits needing bits like HDD / Screen / Motherboards etc.

PC wise... I 'think' I’ve got 5 in my bedroom! Then another half a dozen in the loft!

Servers... I have my IBM server which is on 24/7 and host a few bits and bobs (my profile picture to the left is one of them!). I’ve just got another IBM server, which I’m using as a PC at the moment as its quick - Intel Xeon 3.06Ghz with 2GB ram!  

In the garage I’ve got two old rack mount servers which are essentially useless as there only 233mhz

Then there’s my IPAQ PDA.

And to top it all... I’ve got my own phone exchange in my room with two telephones and a cordless phone all on different extensions! (I use it to connect old laptops to the web when they don’t have a network port on them... I just dial up to my own server, so its completely free! )

No wonder my parents go mad at me sometime!

Yay! All fixed, turned out to be a busted trackpoint causing the error. Found a guy 5 mins round the corner who repairs them (through ebay of all places!) and £25 + a new keyboard later and its all sorted, well happy...
