Our family of 5 now has 6 computers. My husband just got a new laptop and gave me his old one. I don't mind hand me downs. Like the safe I got for no good reason...I wanted a laptop...for no good reason. I want a boat next. Remember I said I don't mind hand me downs. A used boat is fine...as long as it stays a float.
My husband loves things that plug in or take batteries. He's an electronicaholic. We have ipods, digital picture frames, camcorders, digital cameras, an iphone, Blackberry, Treo, Palm Pilot, and Sirius. He even has a bank that takes batteries to calculate how much change he puts in. If the power ever goes out we'll be bored. We need a generator. We need a defibrillator. We need an electric car. Then I think we'll own every single thing that can be plugged in or take batteries. I'm shocked our electric bill isn't 10 million a month.
We have things we might never use. An electronic tree branch cutter that has a 20 foot pole, leaf blower, and a new addition...a Cuisinart Griller. The pots and pans closet already has a waffle maker, George Foreman grill, Wolfgang Puck grill and outside a propane grill and charcoal grill and no one BBQ's.
So, what do we need another laptop for? Because we have 98 power surge stips all over the house and one outlet left to plug one last thing in. I hope nothing else comes out. I hope no one invents something new to plug in. I hope our house doesn't blow up.

Just like the old man from A Christmas Story; Zap! and a whiff of ozone; "we've got one too many plugs plugged in".
