Well at home we have three personal computer, One is in my brother room, the other one is in the kitchen, and the other one is in my room. We use it everyday. My friends told me why we have so many computers, for some they have only one computer at home. I told her because we dont like to wait for our turn to use the computer for we always quarrel about it. when we have our own income we buy our own thing.
My nephews like to come with us every weekend just to play computer games online. Now i am planning to buy a laptop so i can carry it everywhere. But my sister insisted it is a waste of money for we have many computer already.

Right now at my parents house we have one desktop computer it is a Dell and we have had it for many years and it is a really nice computer,and not long ago me and my fiance bought a laptop computer from an ex friend which we like it because it is portable and we can carry it to our room,we have asked my parents for another laptop for Christmas so that we we will both be able to use laptops from our room without one of us having to use the desktop,and when my dad does not work he likes to play his online poker game so it is sometimes hard for us to make money online when he is home.

Yes it is never good to quarrel over who is going to get to use the computer when and it is better to have two computers so that way everyone can get stuff done without having to wait for a turn,have a great day,good luck in your life,and Happy Posting.

We own three computers. Our "new" computer which we use all the time, the "old" computer that we kept but do not have hooked up at the moment, plus my old laptop that is still usable, but has a bug in it so it won't connect to the internet. I keep meaning to have it fixed, but haven't gotten around to it.

I have actually 4 computers in the house that are used regularly. My computer, desktop is the most used, kind of the base. My son has a computer of his own, I found that it helps him with his autism, gives him new skills and he's learned so much. My husband has a laptop right now, but laptops are kind of a pain, and then my sister lives with us and she brought her computer. Now I also have lot of pieces and parts and have probably 2 that I could put together. I just figured I don't need more puters than people.

Do you use all of it? I am just wondering what kind of job do you have for having three computers by yourself. Personally i have one computer by myself, the other is from my brother, and the other one is from my brother. So, all in all we have three computers at home. Thanks for sharing.

Fortunately I have my own laptop and a desktop with me so I don't have to share it with anybody in the first place. Yes I agree with you that personal computers are to be used personally and not by everybody. And we cannot wait for our turn to use the computer, it is going to be a waste of time and effort on other things. Time is very precious so it is better that we purchase our own personal computers when we have our own money.
I have a laptop in my house and one computer in my office. So whenever I come home I will bring my laptop with me so that I can do whatever I want if I am at home. As for your nephew maybe you just tell him to buy his own computer. You don't have to buy a new one just because somebody else is using your computer.

Yeah you are right lady,
From the word personal computer it should be personal too right. they should have many computer at home. Actually they have a computer but one only, he like here with us because has it is network, so they can play against each other at the same time with his brother and his uncle too. It is really different if you have someone to compete with. thanks for responding.

we have 3 working pcs at home, one in our room, one in the living room and the other one is a laptop. there two unworking PCs but since we have enough already, we haven't thought of fixing it yet. We just purchase the laptop this week because our first grader daughter needs to use the PC inside our room. My husbands works online that's why we have to maintain at least one extra PC for other purposes.

I wonder if I have posted here already..hmm...
Well, I have desktop and a laptop here in our house. The former is from an old parts of my brother's pc. I used it for almost 3 years already. Meanwhile, my laptop is 3-month old. That was my birthday gift for myself this year. It helped me a lot in my work since my brother will use the desktop from time to time.

We only have 1 personal computer at home, which is for everybody. But I'm usually the one who always use it. We just recently got our new laptop, which is for me and my twin sister. It's a gift from our older sister. I'm planning to buy another laptop next year or probably upgrade my old desktop PC into a super computer ;)

I only have one desktop at home which I put it in the rest room. It is to be used by my small kids to do their school works and to play games. I have my own laptop which I bought recently where I keep all the recipes,songs and to earn money online. My husband also has a laptop and even my two college kids has a laptop each. I think laptop is more convenient than desktop.
