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..

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!

:D

My wife is not into tech either; but she doesn't mind my computer. I am also a motorcycle and gun nut. My wife has her own motorcycle and she loves to shoot. She has three guns of her own. I did it right this time.

My wife calls my new custom built PC "My Girlfriend". She says that I spend more time, I'm quoting here, " fingering my new girlfriend than her". At least my wife is open minded and understanding of a man and his techno needs....I guess I can have my cake and eat too......

unn tiss unn tiss unn tiss. techno!

I think it's ok to love your PC, just don't Loooovve your PC.

Actually had my case longer then any girlfriend or the ex-wife. I recall a conversation where I dug myself into a hole talking about how easy it is to upgrade your PC and not your girlfriend, didn't go well.
