36. I only have three HDs

Nov 2018

but I concede your point. I guess four if you count my old eMachines desk top moldering in the basement. It still works, but it can't do much and I have to hook it up to a TV because the monitor died.

I have actually only taken four computers out of service in my life. My first desk top did get passed to my FIL, but it was before the days of high speed internet, and I think I did clear everything off of it.

My second desk top did die, and I got rid of it (keeping the HD)

I have two HDs from my first now deceased Compaq laptop.
