I hope you know that my comments about having kids & a wife were made in jest and not meant to offend in any way.

I by no means feel offended. I'm happy that I do not fit into a category of typical computer nerd .

My wife has her own computer and uses it very frequently. And how it is possible she's not upset by my hobby? It's simple - I always buy her better hardware than mine. Currently she owns a moderate class PC box with 20" panoramic Samsung LCD display, and a laser printer. Compare it with my $80 500 MHz PowerMac and my 7 years old (t)rusty 15" LCD panel .
