162307 2003-07-23 08:14:00 Hi guys

I need some advice -- my lovely girlfriend is threatening to leave me as (and I quote) .... "I'm sick of being a computer widow"
"It's me or your (3) computers!"

Now I really love my computers and I've got a fair bit of affection for the missus as well so is quite a dilemna -- any suggestions!

162309 2003-07-23 08:36:00 Compromise.

You - don't spend all your time using/talking about computers
She - take time to understand your interest in computers.

Get her to use the computers, whether it be playing games or using a photo-editing program to be creative with, once she is sufficiently addicted you will be safe :D

162310 2003-07-23 08:38:00 Good plan -- get her addicted....
I like it!

162311 2003-07-23 08:57:00 Yes, definitely get her addicted to computers but don't come crying to us when you start arguing over who gets the gruntier one. :D

Is your girlfriend interested in geneology, photography, cooking, crafts, etc, or have relatives in other parts of the country/overseas? If you find out what her interests are you can then show her that using the computer can enhance those interests.

Good luck. ;-)
