Does your wife hog the computer?

[Stu]

My wife is on late shift tonight (Nurse) so I have the computer to myself. :P

...which got me thinking of a good question for a poll.

[davidpretorius]

good one!

[ballaratdragons]

We take turns to keep the peace.

I get it from 9:00a.m. till after midnight. Then she gets it from whenever I end up getting off it till about 3:00a.m.

It's a fair and equitable method! :lol:

[Itchy]

My wife use to hog the computer, so I had to buy her one of her own to get mine back!!

[asimov]

We have a fair system: The 1st one to the computer gets it. If you have to get outa the chair for any reason, it pays to do it while the other is not in the room or not looking.:)

[h0ughy]

I have 6 computers, 2 adults , 1 child that can read and 1 that cannot. I have built in redundancy!

[jjjnettie]

Greg and I operate much the same way as Asimov does. First in first served. And I don't get up for anything.

[acropolite]

I'm a bit like h0ughy, I've got 4 all networked and a lappy as well...Only me and HRH Liz in the house and she is not interested but extremely jealous of the P.C. and the time spent on it... :ashamed:

[ballaratdragons]

Phil,

4 all networked and a lappy as well. How many hands have you got???

You must look like Rick Wakeman doing one of his live concerts playing 6 electronic Keyboards and pianos at the same time!!!!

Play us a pooter tune Man!

:rofl: :rofl:

Rick Wakeman.
Good one Ken
I can just imagine that, except Phil would add a green laser show to boot.

:lol: :poke:

Well my wife is not interested in computers, so I have it all to my self.
The kids have there own though.

Cheers

I'm the same a h0ughy and Phil, 4 computers, 2 laptops all networked so there are no trouble with any of us hogging the computers. :thumbsup:

[RapidEye]

I'm in good shape: two users, two computers, one fast DSL line with a router!

I figure I've got another year or so before I've got to get another PC so that my 5 yr old daughter can be on too. Right now she just plays offline games, but I can see the day-a-comin...

[iceman]

My wife is not interested, though she can get on the internet to search for something if she absolutely has to.

But most of my computer time is at work, rather than at home.

[toetoe]

I often ask my wife "do you want a go on the computer" the same answer always comes back "i don't know what to do with it". My son has a pc in his bedroom and i have his laptop in the lounge room. My wife just isn't interested in computers.

[vindictive666]

i dont have a wife or girlfriend so i can be a "hog" all i want :)





:wink2: :lol: ;) :P :)

[Howzat]

4 computers and 1 laptop networked plus we're also networked with 4 computers next door :D

[[1ponders]]

Two desktops, two laptops, one 4 port router and just me and the wifey. I need an extra two pairs of hands to make the most of it.

[cahullian]

My wife uses the computer once a year if she is lucky but my three kids are a different matter. I get the pc when they go to bed and on sunday mornings.

[Striker]

My wife use to be on the computer all the time playing stupid games like diamond mine and solitair....so what I did was slowly corrupt these games so they no longer work properly so now she couldn't be bothered....now the 3 computers are all mine most of the time.....lol

[ving]

both my wife and daughter hog the home pc. i do get to use it every so often tho :)

most of my spa... posting is done from work :)

[Stu]

After analyzing the results so far, I have come up with a formula for happy marrige in this age of the internet:

Number of People x 2 = Number of computers in house + (router with minimum of[Number of Computers] ports)

It looks like I need another 3 computers and a 4 port router!

[Striker]

Cheaper alternative......get rid of the wife.

If anyone want free family counseling ring me.....lol
