Innumerable. (Lucas bits don't count.)

1293258 2012-08-08 08:52:00 I think Lucas are a bit more specialised. They principally deal with black holes, then put them in front of cars and motorcycles. R2x1 (4628)
1293259 2012-08-08 09:37:00 •Processor: ◦radiation-hardened central processor with PowerPC 750 Architecture: a BAE RAD 750
◦operates at up to 200 megahertz speed, 10 times the speed in Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity's computers
•Memory: ◦2 gigabytes of flash memory (~8 times as much as Spirit or Opportunity)
◦256 megabytes of dynamic random access memory
◦256 kilobytes of electrically erasable programmable read-only memory

add another 20 tb of flash memory, a couple hundred GB of ram, 4 video cards, 4 50" LCD screens and JJJJ has his next PC for running flight sim.

1293260 2012-08-08 11:36:00 Sorry, but the OP got it wrong. From here the Mars Lander has to be up, or it would be still here.
SurferJoe may have other arrangements due to his precarious geographical position.
