Five in total (Two Macs, three PCs). The Macs both
will boot OS X, Win 7 or Ubuntu Linux -- one will
even boot two versions of OS X at any time, one
working and one beta.
One Mac in the house (MacBook Air) and one PC
(long-in-the-tooth, circa 2008, Dell running Win
7). One Mac in the shack (MacBook Pro), one tiny
10.1" HP notebook running Win 8.1 (used mostly for
PSK31 and such) and one newer Dell PC in the shack
running Win 7.
The two desktop Dell PCs are prized for their fast
optical drives (Blu-Ray in one) so I can rip and
burn optical disks; the two Macs have only slow
usb optical drives.
Even with three computers in the shack I seem to
still be "old school" ala Don Wilhelm :-)

Hmm, another survey?
I have had up to four computers in the shack,
but run two (mainly). I Dell duo-core P4 2.33G
with 2GB memory XP32 which is always connected
to the K3 serial port and does all the digital
mode work. I Dell Inspiron with win8.1 always
connected to the SDR-IQ but gets very irregular
use. I have an old P90 win95 IBM thinkpad for
running an old packet program or a CW key
program (but not getting much use these days -
Keep for any legacy DOS sw).
At some point we will disconnect the duo-core P4
from the internet and e-mail will go to the
win8.1 machine (Hopefully win10 will be with us
by then). I will have to get fm downloads from
the laptop at that point.
Or maybe by then we will replace the laptop
(2009 purchase). My wife bought a new Dell with
win7 this past year and is chomping for a new
desktop (her's is same genre as my desktop which
she never uses). I told her to wait till win10
is available. She also has a ipad-3 which is in
constant use. I have no idea why she needs a
desktop.
