Since moving in with Taz, our shared computer corner in the cottage is beginning to resemble the NASA control room. 2 towers, 2 monitors, 2 keyboards, 2 mice, (mouses?), 4 speakers plus a Sound Station amp, a printer, a laptop, a wireless router plus 3 mobiles & a SKYPE internet phone & webcam between us. Cables & modems galore.
I read somewhere that the first Apollo command modules contained the equivalent computer power of a pocket calculator. In which case we've got enough hardware to mount our own expedition to Mars.
And yet Yoda runs his entire media empire, (MMMotors is just one of at least half a dozen websites he oversees), from a single PC. Obviously it's not the size of your RAM, it's the way that you use it that matters.
Note the specially designed festive antenae.

 Yey I've finally got everything running and the Router connected and my shiny new laptop is now running off that too, so hopefully everything is working as it should do now. Just a slight bit of tidying to do
