HERE be friends:
Sputnik
Sofia's AMD-based Toshiba Satellite desktop replacement laptop running 32-bit Windows Vista, because she couldn't get used to the Eee for some reason. I need to remember to upgrade her to Windows 7 one of these days while she can still get the educational discount.
Thidarat 1 & 2
Mom's Intel-based Toshiba Satellite and older Dell Inspiron 1150 that are just visiting until she gets back from Thailand.
Eeek
Sofia's EeePC 901 20GB running eeebuntu standard Linux.
Sonechka
Sofia's 700Mhz G3 iBook running MacOSX. Would make a decent Ken Burns effect screensaver box. Unfortunately it's on its second power supply plug and it still can't draw juice.
PaperWt
2.2Ghz P4-M Dell Inspiron 8500, with a Geforce4 video card too old to really do anything useful. Used to be my gaming box back in the day :P , now it mostly runs movies for the kids. It's gone through two hard disks that have succombed to bad blocks, maybe it doesn't get enough cooling or something.
Ana
Nastija's old Sony Vaio desktop from her college days. I managed to scavenge a bit more SDR RAM for it as well as a 1.6Ghz P4. It could do much better in life, since it has a halfway decent nVidia Geforce 6800 GT in it, even though the motherboard only does AGP 4x.
devbusiness
PPro 200 Dell that lurks behind the sofa.

Dearly Departed:
pgcps2
P.G. County IBM notebook, running Windows XP something. Alas, we hardly knew ye. Well, maybe enough to break into the Administrator account so we could actually install decent gradebook software.
pgcps
P.G. County Department of Education standard-issue Pentium 166 Gateway laptop, running Win98
[tosh]
tosh
33Mhz 486 Toshiba laptop running Debian that got Rowin through his last semester of college, and had taken to riding around in the trunk of his car for no apparent reason.
