First off, this goes for husbands too, since I'm sure there are women on
this list (but I don't pay much attention to irrelevancies like that).

No no no. My wife, who is not at all into computers

up stuff fast and I don't have to tell her how to do something more than
once usually), LOVES my hobby of collecting computers.

Plus, she knows I won't give her a hard time about
collecting Barbies,
books and pets...because she's so understanding about my hobby.
Here's a tip: even cheaper than finding an SO with a hobby (I know what
Barbies and books can go for!) find a *good*, dedicated teacher.
You'll have evenings and weekends all to yourself while he/she does
homework, does lesson plans, etc. Of course, there are downsides -- like
getting up at 6am to drive her to school to drop off the 12page substitute
teacher plans she stayed up all night doing (and to do an hours' worth of
work) when she's too sick too go to school. 8^)
Of course, if you want understanding *and* free time, find a teacher who
collects something. That gets expensive though. (Donald Duck stuff can be
even more expensive than Barbies, and there's more of it!)
8^)
