Mine just complains that the programs aren't running right and "did you do something?"

Worst was when she took a basic computer course a number of years ago and would come home and argue with me if I disagreed with what the teacher said.

I just got a box of my own to play with and put an aiw card on the family one so she could watch tv and dvd. ;)

She is just very mellow and isn't into making my life hell.
She is just a very good natured person.

SHES PREGNANT!!!! She's trying to break it to you gently :)

My wife has been pretty nice about all my hardware playing. Shes finally getting tired of never having a stable computer cause i'm always rebuilding it and putting new stuff in :)

She went from

600e@800mhz w/ Geforce 256, 256mb Pc133

to a

700@933/1000 w/ Geforce 2 DDR, 512mb of Pc133

to a

1.2 Tbird w/ Geforce 2 , 512mb of Pc133

and to her newly built

XP 1600+ w/ Radeon 8500, 512mb PC2100

All in about 2-3 months time. Now shes starting to rag me to never touch her computer again :) hehe.

I got that 1600 chip yesterday and it smokes! I've got it running at 162mhz FSB!!! It loads into windows @ 165mhz, but then locked up. I think its more the ram than the chip, not sure though. But 162mhz is quick enough, thats 2100+ speed! (i think its 1701 mhz total)

LOL, Nope after our second child, I got fixed.
I have built computers for the kids, but she doesn't want me to build her one.
I bought her a laptop for email and things, but she won't even use that.
