Thought this would be something fun to share, got the idea from here www.lifehacker.com.au/...

Basically we just just list the hardware and software we use on a daily basis at home.
To make things easier you can just copy and paste the following bold text and fill in the blanks.

Feel free to add anything else, that's what I've come up with that I think is relevant to most of us here.
