And 90% of those 65% are men who are tired of nodding and going "yes dear", "oh really dear?" and "Ok dear" all night long...

Well, let's see. I spend 8+ hours a day at work, on the computer there. I spend maybe an hour, hour and a half w/ the hubby before he has to do his schoolwork. Then we sleep next to each other at night, of course.. We don't spend that much time together awake, I guess!

"On my show, I teach couples that they don't have to be an expert in resolving tough marital problems, they simply have to know whom to turn to for support. With the introduction of support.com, consumers can have a trusted advisor to turn to for technology relief when they experience frustrating technology problems." Feh - they can always post to FR. After six people tell them they need a Mac, eight tell them they need to be on Linux, and four ask them if they're logged in, the problem generally gets solved.

That's because he works second shift, gets home at 3 AM, gets up at 1 PM and leaves for work at around 2:30 PM. Hmmm...the computer keeps me company, as there are no kids, just four canines. I think 65% is low.

My hubby & I solved this "problem" years ago...we both have computers. Each at our own desk, side-by-side. We spend many happy hours together! Many of them spent here at FR :-)
