If she starts getting edgy about it, you can tell her to E-mail my own

years now, so she knows very well what it means to be married to a budding
engineer.
Congrats! May you have smooth sailing. Oh, and NEVER forget your

She sure does and I thank God for that.
She endured my Data General phase without a hiccup.
She Must love me! It took five months. From pillow-talk alone, she knows
more about MV machines than Tracy Kidder herself.

I do. I found one. She allows me to collect, but keeps me grounded in
reality sometimes. "No, you can't put anything more than 4 feet tall
into the living room".
If she starts getting edgy about it, you can
tell her to E-mail my own
lifemate, Dana (kathy(a)bluefeathertech.com). We've been married for six-plus
years now, so she knows very well what it means to be married to a budding

We need to start a mailing list for the wives/husbands of collectors.
That way, they can find solace in others who may not be of the
collecting persuasion.

We got married on St. Patrick's Day. I didn't even realize that. Thing
is, I constantly forget when St. Patrick's Day is. :) So, when asked, I
just say "We got married on St. Patrick's Day". Saved me a couple of
times. :)

Is kinda rare. Beverly has been working on the tech side (at my
ex-employer) over her 22+ year career. Other women I knew in the past had
their eyes glaze over when my ingrained technical side started talking
about stuff so I could see there was not a good lifetime match. A couple of
the list members may be able to attest to this as they know Bev now.
Sept 13, 1998 is the date Bev & I got hitched.
I do hope
she supports your collecting.
She sure does and I thank God for that.

I feel the same. Indeed, big congrats to you!
She might not know what all the DG's parts DO but she sure knows all thier
NAMES by now. ;-) If I say MV or IAC16 or OCTAL, she knows I'm talking DG
again. "Hey sweetie, I got the IAC, the MIOC, and the 9track card all
working together!" - and she will be happy for me because she knew I
really wanted the tape drive to run. I think she is also happy because
once I lick the problem at hand, I guess I'm a little more social than
squatting in the basement scratching my head at the rows of 15" cards
laying around me.
BTW, staples from my Stepdaughter's mini-stapler worked excellentlly for
strapping the tape controller's device code.... The legs are just a bit
bigger in diameter than the factory straps though.

Why thanks! I'll give that address to Chrissy. I bet she would like to
compare notes ;-0.

Chrissy me branded with the wedding date and her birthday just before the
honeymoon. Ouch!
Good luck!
