Man, rent a condo or something and put all you tech stuff there, visit them whenever you can, but also don't forget to help your wife with your baby girl, the 1st couple of years of that age are sick, she will get over it eventually but for now, try to help her as much as you can and keep your techs away from her as much as possible, right now your wife is just trying to throw her tiredness on whatever/whoever she can reach.. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 CPU AMD Phenom II x4 B50 Motherboard GA-MA770T-UD3P Memory 2x4 G.skill DDR3 CL9 @1600 Graphics Card Powercolor HD 6950 2G GDDR5 Sound Card Built in + Creative T6200 5.1 sub system Monitor(s) Displays LG FLATRON W1934S Screen Resolution 1440x900 Keyboard Upgrading~ Mouse Upgrading~ PSU NZXT HALE90 1000W 80Gold+ Case HAF 932 Cooling 5 Fans Hard Drives 2 1T WD Blacks (No Raid), 1 2T WD Green Internet Speed ADSL 2mb |

Seems I am not alone. Good to know.
My wife is not into Tech at all, however she does not complain when I splice together a family video or print hundreds of photos.
Condo idea - Well I did build a big garage, and I am thinking of putting my older computer out there in the workshop. Then I can have my tools and computer in the same place, o'boy now thats heaven! | My System Specs | | OS Win 7 Home Prem CPU AMD Phenom2 X4 II 955 Motherboard ASUS Memory 4GB Corsair Kit DRR2 800mhz Graphics Card GT240 PSU 450w Case ATX Micro Cooling Standard Fan Hard Drives 500GB SGate 7200rp |
