In your home, how many computer do you have?
Do you share a computer with anyone or does each of you have their own access to a pc, laptop or ipad?
In our home we have 1 set of computer, but mostly my brother is glued to this pc, expect when he is asleep and has left it open for his downloads, i am able to use it. other than that, what i use is my laptop. =)

Yes our computer here are shared I mean a laptop. There is one computer but it is not working and this makes the laptop the only thing used. I say that I must be the one who use it often but since the internet is not mine the other user say that she has the right to use the laptop more.

I am one of those who are not fortunate enough to have more than one computer in the house. We only have one desktop computer and I am always using it because of my work. Sometimes, we do have a fight who's gonna be using the computer. But if I'm not doing anything important I let my husband use it.
Hopefully, before the end of the year, I could purchase a laptop for my own.

I have only one computer,a bit older though.My daughter upgraded it last year because it got corrupted. I don't know what happened but its working fine now and more faster.I shared it with my two daughters.Since they are both studying they use the pc a lot, for their research, assignments, chat and others.Since I can not buy them a new one for themselves yet,we share in one desktop.

We're fortunate that we already have one of each, however, it wasn't this way before. There have been a lot fighting and scheduling when we were younger. We'd fight over the time schedule of who's going to use the pc when and how long.
These days, we already have one of each and we no longer really need to share. However, there are times when we stay or some of my brothers would stay in my room and would ask to use my computer because of the need to search something, it's okay, no harm done.

I have several computers at home, though I am often the only one using them. But when my nieces and nephews are here, they are also using them, I even network my computers so that all of them can access the internet. Sometimes, I even play network games with them, such as counterstrike, nba, red alert, and other LAN games. Having several computers is fun especially when you are sharing it with others. Happy myLotting! :)

I won't allow others to touch my computer. Some people like me, write secret or private stuffs on it and hid it somewhere in the computer. I so don't want people other than me finding it. I also hate being disturbed when I'm using the computer and decided to just glue myself to it for around 13 hours a day. You can say the computer is a part of my life.
Because of this, my family decided to just buy everyone a computer so no one will need to disturb the others just so they can use the computer for their own needs.

We have a family computer with multiple login accounts, one administrator and the rest are users. All users have their own desktop wallpaper or icons arranged in a specific way.

In my home, I have one desktop for my family use and a laptop which is for my personal use. And in my home no one will touch my laptop without my permission. But, I allow my family members to use the desktop for their works and for downloading etc..

We have two sets of computer at home, the other one is use for playing games and some offline activities while the other one has its modem so we can use it with the internet. I haven't bought a router so I can connect the other one to the internet. My IT professional daughter said that if I connect the other computer to the same internet connection, the flow of the connection will be divided among the two so the connection would be slower. I also think of replacing our connection with a Wifi connection so I won't be buying cables and router but that will have to wait since I don't have the budget yet.

At home, we have 1 laptop which is stationary and connected to the tv. It's either just me or my husband who's using it. I normally would just use the laptop skyping, watching movies and doing some hits at muturk. It's easier to do the job using a mouse rather than using the iPad which I do share with my husband and 1 yr and 10 month old son. If they are busy using both, then I would need to settle with my mobile. :)
