Re: How many computers have you simultaniously used at one time?

For me, 2.

Although you might want to rethink the thread name, I am not sure how you can use multiple computers simultaniously at a different time....

Do virtual machines count?

I could easily find myself running a VM on my main desktop, as well as the host OS, RDP into my machine at work which is also running a VM, and there's the laptop beside me. That's 5.

If there is a desire(that's me) or need to use multiple computers there is a way of doing it. As example with two computers you can do one hand typing on two keyboards.

Re: How many computers have you simultaniously used at one time?

I'll pick at the phrase "simultaneously used"... which implies using at the exact same time.

Given that it takes two hands to use a keyboard efficiently (and not really into typing one-handed on two keyboards simultaneously), I'd have to say one! Even if have multiple machines lined up for trouble shooting, am only actually physically using one machine at a time.

To those claiming multiple simultaneous usage, where exactly are those extra appendages growing out from? Or are you claiming to type with your toes??

Do you realize that once you set a topic title you can not change it? I am wondering why you are concerned about the title? I started this thread for fun and did not put any classification of what is and isn't considered usage. But anyways I intend not to contend with you and xan on proper wording and your negative responses. So if you so choose this path I will just ingore your off topic responses.
