We could have 41,000 network appliances each. I would hardly call my power switch or HiFi system a "computer". Now disposable items such as mobile phones have MAC addresses, that 41,000 each could start to look a lot smaller quite quickly. I think I must have used up around 25 already. Only 40,975 to go :-) > This means we could all have over 41,000 computers each
