As well as in Italian, in English \"computer park\" seems to be metaphorically used to indicate the number of units (at last from the site above, and see below)

\"The available number of computers satisfies the needs of the SLS, but taking into account their gradual moral and physical obsolescence, the computer park must be renewed at least by 25-30 percent every year. The State Land Service is able to ensure full technical servicing of its computers.\"

Thou, I\'m surprised of three negative comments, and I\'ll keep on wondering about it...

  -> Oh my... Where have I seen you before? Oh, yes! You shouldn't stop your reading at the first line... You know, sometimes it can be quite useful to have the whole picture of it...
