Let's see:

Frodo is an old IBM Intellistation M which is a workstation server.
It carries the heavy lifting running most of the services (DNS, DHCP,
mail, apache etc.) for the home lan, it's the box which runs my blog,
and a mediawiki site as well as several "intranet" apps. This is
running Ubuntu Dapper, and certainly has Ruby.

Bill is my trusty old slow Thinkpad, only 128MB or ram, kind of slow
and plodding. Ubuntu Feisty including Ruby.

Both of the Ubuntu machines have Ruby installed from source to stay
out of the Debian ruby packaging mess.

Shadowfax is the new addition to the stable, a MacBook which I've
had for just a few days. A nice fast white steed compared to old Bill.
This runs OSX tiger, I'm gradually teaching my old fingers to dance
the Textmate tango instead of the Vim valse.

Arwen is my wifes Compaq something desktop running Windows XP Home

Outside of the Tolkien group theres a Wrt54G running OpenWRT, I
guess this counts as a computer as well.

Lots of other old machines mostly not used, including an old Apple
][+ with Apple Integer Basic rom wrapped up in a plastic bag up in the
attic.

Let me know if you acquire a Tom Bombadil :-)

For the record, I don't actually own anything, but I have at my
disposal 2 PCs. One is dual boot Win XP/FreeBSD (Pentium 4), the
other is OpenBSD (AMD). I named them after porn stars.

I have 8... but one is a 486 with 16MB RAM... my friends came to my
house during that time and said, "wow, you have a lot of RAM!"

coz at work, I had a 486 33MHz with 8MB RAM, and a 386 with 4MB RAM...

and now, in about a month, maybe I will get a Mac mini or Macbook for
the Core 2 Duo and the OS X 10.5.

Beth, the G4 iBook that has survived snow, candlewax, cat claws, beer,
chocolate and oh so many crunchtimes, and Mina, the Intel Mac Mini
that is sitting on my desk with a hard drive full of work. Also a
random old Dell box as a fileserver, soon to be replaced by Carla, the
G4 iMac.

So really just starting to become a collector. Ask again in 10
years. I doubt I can sell any box on eBay, they would grow eyes and
cry.

Mini called "mr. roboto".

My mini dictionary says it can be interpreted in several ways.
Especially depending on the way you read it. Separately or together?
Reminds my of poetry in one sci-fi novel where the words could make
different sense depending on the way you put them together into
sentences..

You got that right, Ubuntu seems to be multiplying.
