Aren't we all?
Had someone come and do a survey from the ABS a couple of months
before the census re computers and their usage in the home. She got
to the question of "How many computers do you have?". I responsed by
asking "In regular use or not?" That stumped her. She finally
decided that she wanted to know the number of computers whether they
were in use of not, working or not. So when I answered 7 (I actually
forgot two), she commented that she had never come across someone
with that many computers before....
