Ha! 

I hear you on the wife bit. My wife used to buzz over me like a bee 
anytime I got near her computer, and would -- literally -- rip my hair 
out if I changed something she was used to. 

So I gave up on keeping her computer upgraded. 

But fortunately, the major problem -- the wife -- will soon be over. My 
only regret is that divorces take so damned long. 

However, I am happy to say my hair is growing back now... 

Now, if only us geeks could figure out how to make as wise a choice for 
spouses as we do about operating systems, hardware, software, raid 
configurations ... 

:-)

Will never make that stupid marriage mistake ever again... bad choices 
in that arena are VERY difficult to debug.
