Anyone else here have probs trying to keep your woman from naggin' you to death whilst trying to upgrade or fix your PCs? Mine just doesn't ease up on the nagging, just doesn't understand that some things take time. I get the "how LONG are you going to be on that thing?" and if I continue, I'm in big trouble.

my woman doesn't get mad about it. infact I have to be careful cuz she starts asking questions like "what's this" and "what's with all the fans". Can't have her knowing too many things like that... cuz sooner or later she's gonna figure out what I'm doing with the case off AGAIN :)

Just upgrade her computer every now and then.
I have my wife running a Geforce DDR and 800mHz
She stops the complaining when her computer goes faster too :)

There is one way to stop this and only one way at least that I am aware of it is called D I V O R C E Now if only this computer would grow some mamory glands and give oral favors life would be sweet.

I'm not sure if that's funny or just disturbing...

When was the last time your wife had sex??? j/k LOL

I know what you mean man. Same $hit here. What I hate is when you are watching a program or performing some other important function, she wants to talk. WTF is that about?

My wife doesn't nag at all and enjoys a chance to mess with her computer.

My wife's totally computer illiterate and wants nothing to do with them, as if it's just some high tech gadget that's impossible to understand. Once in a while I'll try to show her things but she lacks interest.
Whats "sex" ? :) (I'm an old married guy)
Maybe replacing her with a sex doll and just get a dog for company isn't a half bad idea ;) (yes, I'm kidding, or am I? hmmmmm)

If I am on my computer doing something, my girlfriend would try to get me to get off of my computer and then she will start playing solitaire. Then I got cable tv and that kept her distracted since she does not have cable. I just have to say "yeah" and "sure" and "I guess so" everytime she makes a comment about something on tv.

When we're done I usually end up with the computer and a female will watch a movie. Sometimes later they just dissappear. *magic*

They say I don't ever listen to them and usually ramble on about some other things, not sure what exactly since I wasn't paying much attention.

I think the failure to listen thing is universal for us guys but we get worse with time, no doubt.

hahahaha,

I must have been married for toooo long. My wife knows that when the KING is sitting in his palace (computer room) the lowly servants MUST not bother him ;) Also, since I work nights, shes never there when I am on it most of the time anyhow. Plus the fact shes way too smart for this computer stuff.
