I'm not a console person for the most obvious reason; harder to mess with the game but I do have some hardware other than PC for mostly media purposes.
I bought a PSP a while back but not to play games with. I use it mainly as a media player. Which got me thinking about the actual technology I do own and I was just wondering where others find themselves in this media world.
I have:
Xbox
PSone
iPod Nano
PSP
Pocket PC
several MP3/WMA players
Portable DVD player
A handful of SD/Memory stick and various media cards
A bunch of thumbdrives
I'm thinking of getting one of the new Archos players that play a bunch of formats.
Consoles
Technology wise I'm pretty out-dated. I own and still use:
Nintendo Entertainment System
Super Nintendo
Nintendo 64
Nintendo GameCube
Nintendo GameBoy Color
Atari Jaguar
Zenith Hi-Fi Stereo VCR
Pioneer receiver/amplifier
Pioneer 101-disc CD changer
Pioneer dual deck cassette player
I did have an original PlayStation but it died about year or so ago.

I used to have a huge pioneer system with these 4ft 200watt speakers and a receiver you could put a hole in a yaght with if you dropped it. I gave it to my son and after a month he replaced those huge speakers with some dinky Bose that sounded really good. Then he replaced the receiver with a Sony receiver that weighed about 5oz.
I have used my computer for most everything for several years now. I have a PCI TV card and a USB TV card and a 3way amplified speaker system hooked to the computer. So the TV and stereo thing is covered. I use my laptop as a DVD player most of the time.
The last time I was at my place I found a box of Super Nintendo games from years ago but didn't see the console anywhere around. It was probably loaned out a long time ago and never returned. Who knows anymore!
I am definetly liking all this new portable media stuff. The PSP is great at Dennys while waiting an hour for your next cup of coffee. I can't even imagine how I got along without flashdrives before.

Me? If I'm not using the computer or TV, I usually have a book. You guys remember those, right? Made of paper, with words on them? Oh wait, I have a shower radio too! I guess this means I wouldn't make it into the geekette club, huh?
