:lol:

The official answer (according to my wife at least) is "too many" :lol:

To be honest I stopped counting the ST's (including the 1x Falcon, 2x Mega STs and 3x STE's) after I got past 30...and i somehow managed to buy a few more after that :oops:
I'm pretty sure I've not passed the 40 mark yet though! ;)

If I were to include the many various vintage PCs/laptops along with the couple of Psions, 2x Amigas, NC100, 3x BBCs (plus various second processors) I'd probably be pushing past 70 towards 80 8-)

I still don't see it as a competition :D but I'd be happy to call it a draw or an honourable victory for @rubber_jonnie if he's happier that way ;)

I'm trying to stop buying actual retro computers for a bit (this year ideally) to give me more time to sort out some of the ones already purchased (and the @exxos/@Badwolf/@terriblefire etc. upgrades to go into them).

That also lets me focus on buying up any synths/samplers etc. that I want to complete my 'home studio' setup (well, Ok, it's really a collections of keyboards/synths/samplers & multi-track recorders the corner of the study :lol: :roll: )

I'm kind of coming up to a bit of a bit of a computer buying hiatus myself, I have 3 lined up to collect soon (Archimedes, Atari 800XL and a TI 99/4a), but after that I really have only one more to specifically collect, and that is a TRS-80, but that is kind of where I may stop collecting and repairing for a bit, and start using more.

Like the idea of the multi track recorders BTW.
