I feel like I still want one computer in the house that is always on (for quickly looking something up), always connected to printers (to wirelessly share said printers with the various laptops), and always connected to speakers (to play music). I also need a computer that has a big disk (for the family photo library) and always connected to a couple of external disks (for backups, I use Time Machine plus weekly disk cloning) and to the cable modem (I'm going to start using cloud backup, would rather do that over wire than over wireless).

Maybe this is just me being old fashioned.
