Well "gorgeous" comes with the territory; I've theorized that the
world's supply of beautiful women all comes from your country. I've met
quite a few people from there (I had a lot of contact with many people
from the South American region when I dated a Colombian
girl for a few
years) and they have ALL been breathtaking.
Stupid, though, is a problem. I'd say you're looking in the wrong
places. I'm not sure how to address that in your area. Here, I'd go
hang out at a Hackerspace or something...not sure if there are many of
those where you are, but if you can find one, that's probably your best bet.

It's not exactly a picnic here either...a very small number of people
here hold all of the money, and they play golf, not technology.
The saving grace is that commercial space can be had for a song in the
US these days.
I'd say try it anyway. The women will flock to the person who
organized the hackerspace. You'll have to beat them off with a stick! ;)

Well, as they say: "Beauty fades, but stupid is forever." While having
your wife look gorgeous doesn't hurt, IMHO it should never be the main
thing that attracts you to her. And beauty is overrated (says the bloke
who oh so very much likes the view when looking at his wife) anyway,
other things are - IMHO - way more important: a similiar sense of humour,
being able to just disappear into a (intelligent) conversation with your
partner and hours later wonder where the time went, enjoying similiar
things, ...

Very true, I think. Two of the reasons I am particularly hopeful about
the woman I'm currently feeling sweet on are that we _do_ disappear
into conversations and wonder where the hours went and that she shares
at least some of my love for recreational mathematics, something I've
found far too seldom in _anyone_.

You're a point outside the curve :o)
I'm inclined to think he's not. I'm in basically the same position,
though we won't hit 13 years until next summer. I made sure my wife
had seen my *ENTIRE* classic computer collection *BEFORE* I asked her
to marry me. I tend to think my Classic computer collection bothers
me more than it bothers my wife.

Sigh.
She threatened to rectally insert it (the Apple // europlus) into the
guy who gave it to me.
I get away with quite a bit, actually. She did refuse to let me ship
my PDP 11 over here, even though she packed things like toilet roll
and Suave shampoo in that shipping container... at least they don't
require 110v 60hz.
Really, what the // lacks at the moment is a monitor. It has no RF
adapter. I'd have to rig something up. I gave my last VCR away, so I
can't use that as a composite adapter anymore. Hmmm...
...all this makes me want to either write a BBS for the // (like I
never started that project before) or for RSTS/E (like I never started
that project before).
I guess I should have tried harder to hit it off with one of those
women at sci-fi conventions...

Composite->RF adapters used to be plentiful a couple of years or so ago for

lots lurking still as people have upgraded their TVs. Maybe try freecycle etc.
Of course finding a TV that has composite inputs built-in might be a

I've been married to my (only) wife for 25 years. We've been together
for 34 years.
We have many shared "loves" -- dogs, the outdoors, musclecars, and too
many other things to count.
I have had my calculator collection since the mid-1980's...she always
put up with it, even when machines invaded our first home together, and
other homes until we were able to put up a separate building to house it
all. She doesn't really understand my fascination, but that doesn't
matter -- she knows that my time spent with this stuff is happy time for
me, and she's all about that. She does a lot of competitions with our
dogs...where she travels all around the country competing. I miss her
and the dogs when they are gone, but it's just not my thing to sit
around in a livestock arena and watch dogs run through obstacle courses
for days on end. But -- it makes her happy, so I'm all for it.
She respects that I have my calculators (and some old computers too),
and I respect that she does her dog competition, and it never has caused
any conflict. We do our own things when we can, and we have our
shared things that we do together.
Like Terry wrote -- it just works.
It's all about give and take. Without that ... any relationship is
destined for rough seas.
Kudos to you, Terry! Congratulations on over 20 years of happy
marriage.

If you look deeper into that sort of statement, you'll find it's
deeply disrespectful. For me, that relationship would have ended on the
spot.

Heh. There is loads of cable equipment behind the television. I took
one of those wicker boxes you get at Pier 1 and put it all in the box,
which hides the wires. It's probably (slightly) less safe having it
all stuffed into that box, but you can't see the wires now, so it's
better.

I think that may just be a cut down on your cable management j/k. Pretty sure the ladies
like that and she'd be happy for you to increase that budget.

If it was ME,
I'd bring the stuff out to enjoy it and tell her to go pound

just because THEY don't like a hobby, their SO _must_ not like it either.
I knew there was a reason I was still single.

Yeah, I've found that hiding wires is a good plan. I also plan to set
up an 8-bit computer lab in the loft. She never goes up there. I've
been trying to get that room for ages, but children (teenagers) keep
rotating up there, as they rotate out of the house.
Here's hoping the oldest one doesn't come back (to live). (;

I think the trick is to mod the consoles when they're gone. Then you can at least
pretend its an 8bit system once and a while. Even the kids might like it. My wife
accidentally left me home with the wii and it was quite quick and painless to get homebrew
code on there. The kids (young) don't know how to get to it yet but have enjoyed the
nes games quite a bit. My younger daughter surprised me with the comment that Galaga was
"the best game in the world. "

Yes. I discuss this with Autumn most every time it comes up here.
She doesn't understand it either. She acknowledges that she doesn't
have the burning interest in this stuff that I do, but she does think
it's cool and important to history.
Her take on it is simple. She sees me happier than a pig in shit when
I'm hacking on my stuff. She knows it makes me happy, and she knows
it's important to me. This makes HER happy.
Why does it make her happy? Because she cares about me. If she
didn't, it wouldn't.
Take from that what you may. Divorce attorneys are in the yellow pages.
