Answer to the title of this post: trick question! There's no such thing as too many computers, at least not in this house of geekery and nerdom. Thus I present the newest addition to our collection, an Acer Aspire One netbook freshly taken off the hands of a local Target store.
I have been thinking about getting a new portable computer for myself recently, especially since I am often borrowing Amy's MacBook Pro which sometimes causes her to make the Sad Pouty Face (SPF) at me. Since I am a weakling when it comes to the SPF, I decided to keep my eye out for a new computer toy I could call my own. Then I saw the deal of the day on Woot.com today was this very netbook, only it was a refurbished model. Some of the people posting comments mentioned that Target stores had the same model, new (not refurbished), for slightly less on sale this week, so I took a leap and am typing today's post on it.
Oh, and for perspective, that is my left foot in the picture. For the record, I wear men's 10 1/2, though that size is either my left or right foot, and the other one is approximately a whole size larger or smaller. I forget the details, but the friendly shoe salesman at the mall in Portland explained it to me after he took my measurements. So if I was pretending to be an engineer, I might say the foot in the picture is size 10.5 with a tolerance of +/- 1 US Men's Shoe Size Unit.

Today's deal is a Gilmour Polymer Impulse Lawn Sprinkler - 2 Pack for just $2.99+shipping! Let's do it!
What? You think we don't NEED that?! [sad pouty face]
Oooooh, so cheap, so tempting... however, I have made it a personal policy to never Woot two days in a row.
I guess I didn't technically Woot yesterday though since we went to Target instead.
Let's order 20!
OMG, I didn't even notice that you are ON THE COMPUTER taking a picture of yourself! That is so, like, meta! ;)
