How many electronic communication devices do you have?

As far as I know we own three electronic communication devices: a computer; a semi-portable telephone and my husband's hearing aid.

I have a laptop for work. At home I use my husband's computer. I also have a Palm V, but I don't use the email feature.

Hmm... let's see:
PC, laptop, beeper, cell phone, cordless phone w/ answering machine, caller id, ...and I think that's it. 7.
  Instead of "shoot your tv," I think "shoot your modem" would be more appropriate now.

I won't even get into the plethora of devices I have in my work environment. At home, 2 computers both hooked up into a LAN and sharing a cable modem, 1 fax machine (not working), 4 radios, 3 regular phones, 1 wireless phone (belongs to roommate), 3 TVs, 1 Palm V, 1 laptop (terribly antique).  Thank the heavens, no beepers, cell phones or pagers.

Electronic? Hm. I have normal phones, of course, but I don't think that counts. There's a cell phone my parents make me have. It's an old, chunky pain in the butt. And then there's this computer. So, basically, one. . .: )

I suppose I only have on electronic communications device: the PC. After all, I don;'t think a TV qualifies as a communication device.

Just my trusty modem, which is my gateway to impersonal communication. Hello, everybody!

I have my computer, 2 radios, a television, a phone and a cel phone, so I guess that makes 6 devices.

In my house there is one computer and 5 phones, and we have a car phone too. I don't know if you'd call radios or televisions communication devices, but if you do we have a few of those.

I have a cell phone, two telephone lines at home, email here and at work, a fax machine.

Just a phone and computer. I might need to get a pager again, though.

Let's see... personally I have three telephones, two cell phones (one of which doesn't work) two computers, a laptop (which seems to be in a coma), and if you count passive communication, I've got a television, a radio, and a digital cable box.
