Laptop, because you're a globe-trotting trend-setter.  A millionaire playboy who uses his Kodak digital camera to take photos of all his plushie (http://www.sexuality.org/l/fetish/plushies.html) parties, all the while dressed in his otter costume.  Even while yiffing (http://yiffy.info) with the other members, you need to know that your laptop is safe.  So you've got anti-viral protection, because the laptop is connected to the 'net ALL the time.  This is necessary to stream the video to your pr0n website, dedicated to the plush fetish.

How'd I do?

9 sys tray icons at work (used to be almost twice that number).  I, unfortunately, share a PC with several others and, as such, there's all kinds of stuff that shows up in the tray.    :(

LOL, quality  :D

I bloody hate system tray icons.  I hate getting a new PC at work, and the tray is filled with crap that does nothing useful, just wasting system resources.

I have 4 atm:

AVG Anti-Virus,
The 2 little computers that say you're connected,
The 'Safely Remove Hardware' thing (this always shows up when my ADSL modem is conected,
ADSL modem control panel thing.

It seems I have to have these (ok bar the virus thing), otherwise I would have zero  :)

OK, I have a confession to make then.  I DO like the 2 little computers - you can tell if somethings wrong by looking at them.

Yeah I have a USB modem, it's what British Telecom supply with their broadband package.   I quite like it actually - I have it next to my phone (+ therefore broadband) socket.

1 or 2 on notebook depending on if the network is hooked up 3 if I'm using dialup. 2 on other computers to keep clutter down.  Even with 1 gig of ram on main comp, need as much system resources open.
