YG1 has just embedded the Pi into one of these: SunFounder PiCar-S Raspberry Pi 4/3/2/B+ Smart Car Kit - RobotShop , so I've lost access to the HDMI port. But she's got her kid's Fire running a virtual desktop so she can still use the Pi, so it still counts. Much better than home schoolwork.

There's always VNC.

Agreed on the schoolwork topic!

I've been reading the lists of devices everyone has been posting very carefully and I would implore people to carefully check their accuracy.

You want to be sure what you're nicking before you make the effort to break in?

I know the XP laptop still works ok for browsing. About a year ago some idiot backed into the telegraph pole and I lost my phone & internet for a week. Just about managed to access the free BT WiFi with the laptop on the bedroom window sill.

9 if you include the ancient things, 2 XP laptops, a Win 2000 PC desktop and a Win CE tablet that I've never got round to chucking out. Maybe 10, I'll have to see if my Psion 5 still works.

What is a web page these days? In the IoT this needn't be a visual page, but an address which is prefixed with http(s).

Can an echo "open" a web page? It accesses resources on the web but it doesn't display them for viewing. But, by reading out the content, i guess it's no different to screen reader software used by the visually impaired. Although a screen reader, from what I remember, will convert the displayed page into speech which is a subtle distinction.

Ah! It twas you wot wrote the poll. That explains the proper boundaries on the groups, thank you.

I had my daughter check.

But you can count your new eBumfist 3000.

Well.it opens something alright.

I've got 9. One desktop, three laptops, mobile phone, a NAS, two raspberry PIs, Wifi router.
For the rest of the family: 10. Includes, Switch, XBox, Wii, TV, Bluray player.

I've also got two or three "dead" laptops.

Strictly, my ZX81 can also connect. I just need to write the software... And I think my dishwasher may have connectivity.

But otherwise 19 total.

Poll added.

No smart TVs or "smart" gadgets that make a dumb telly smart such as FireStick, Apple TV ?

Nope. I have a Micro Dell Optiplex in the living room that the TV is plugged into which is one of the three desktops I mentioned.

Wot's a "webpage"?

I wonder if the XT would do it.

You can just about line up a nano SIM to fit, or make yourself a converter out of cardboard (see YouTube). Won't they connect to WiFi?

It's a Nokia 6300, I seriously doubt it has wifi connectivity.
