Hmmm, it's all being taken apart right now, but at the last "complete"
stage it was:

BT Business Hub
Apple iMac
Apple G5
Apple MacBook
Asus Eee
FlipStart
Acer laptop thing
PSP
Wii
PS3 (when it was here)
XBox via bridge

All on WiFi

Then

LaserJet, Epson scanner, Apple Mac Quadra, NeXT, Dell PC, Acorn Archimedes

On Ethernet

Then

Apple //e, Apple IIgs, Apple Mac SE, Apple ImageWriter

On LocalTalk (via the Quadra).

Ok coming in there is the BT ADSL 4 port 2500V Modem/Router/Wifi (WiFi
disabled)

From that one port goes to the network printer (A3 photo job)
Another to an 8 port 3Com hub
Another to a 4 port Router with Wifi (Linksys)

On the network there are 6 hard wired PCs (only 4 are running right now), my
Mac (on the odd occasion it's not crashing), one 360 and my PS3.

On Wifi, upto 3 laptops, my PDA, 2 PSPs, Wii, Phone, Ipod Touch.

I think there is something missing from that list but I can't think what.

Loads of VNC traffic on this network, mainly wired so I can stream HD
content.

Cheapo Netgear ADSL modem/switch that's plugged to a Cisco 2600 router,
which is plugged into a Cisco 3650 switch to which are connected two Cisco
APs. There's two laptops running wirelessly, an Ubuntu Linux box and a Win
2K3 server running off this lot..

It's all a bit excessive really, but I'm doing my Cisco exams and work let
me take the kit home to play with..

Now, I see a few of us have PSPs. Do you guys actually use yours? Mine has
the Devhook firmware, and I have the Simulation disc of Gran Turismo 2
loaded onto my memory stick - which is the only thing I have ever really
played for any length of time on it. All the other games are just junk.
Nothing of any real quality IMHO. Haven't played on it for a fair while now
I admit, also got a couple of UMDs that came with it at the time (well,
Predator did, I bought Serenity for Ebay for a few quid).

Now I have a PS3, I beleive there is some things my PSP can do with my PS3?
Any ideas what it can do and how you do it?

You can remote control media, and watch movies stored on the PS3.

You can remotely access it via WiFi and internet - so find a hotspot and
if configured correctly, you can control your PS3 at home from anywhere.

You can buy PS1 games on the store and put them on the PSP.

And that's about it at present, that I'm aware of.

I have a PSP but I really haven't used it, the controls annoy me and
it's hard to see the screen with a lot of activity on it. The games that
are PS2-esque ports are just too busy for that screen area, like Vice
City Stories.
