Right? It's like they're not even trying. Everyone knows you need at least a hundred machines

I ran an IT company for many years until I became disabled. But I do tons of tinkering selling and supporting still as a hobbyist etc. most of them are laptops. My lab used to have 14 full tower chassis systems but I got rid of all of those once their functionality was not needed anymore after I closed the business. I mean - computers that I use daily is basically like three or four laptops and a few Android phones. A couple of tablets - an iPhone an iPad an Android tablet. Also a few really old vintage devices just for shits n giggles. Two transformer pads also.

I mean… I got started in tech a long time ago. As in the early 1980s.
