I've asked my wife for her opinion on this
and she said that she
would instantly scrap and toss my stuff if she ever found herself in
a similar situation. I can't blame her.
Have you instantly divorced her after hearing that in order to ensure
the safety of your collection?
I can't understand why everyone here is having so much difficulty with
their wives. Why did you marry them in the first place? Why in the
world would you want to marry someone who has no respect for your most
important Life's Work?
This probably explaines why I have no success with women, but I would
agree. Your wife doesn't have to be interested in classic computers (or
whatever), but she darn well should realise that if the man she claims to
love is insterested in them then they are actually important to some
people. And that you'd want your work to continue after your death.
