Questions about GC

An informal survey based on a comment from a friend of mine. Humor me if you please.
How many people here have less than 2 GC's in their lab?
How many people here look for 7 compounds or less?
How many GC users use only an FID or TCD?
Curiosity is killing this cat, even though I am a dog person.
Best regards,

From one dog person to another: If I might be allowed one smart- ass answer (I fall outside all the other categories) I hope that
I am looking for less than seven compounds, but I first have to work out what they are, or even if they are there for the finding.

Two gas chromatographs with FID only although 90% of the time I am only measuring four compounds.
I do have access to an old GC-MS which I fire up rarely for special projects.

One bench GC in the lab, FID, looking for 4 compounds (once I get that project started). One offsite online GC under our care with FID, FPD looking for a whole list of stuff - more than 7.

I have a 6890 with a 5975b MSD and a FPD that I have no use for and unfortunately I wasn't there when they bough the stupid thing.
I have a 5890 with an FID and may acquire another one for fames or something.
