Does your wife hog the computer?
My wife is on late shift tonight (Nurse) so I have the computer to myself. 
...which got me thinking of a good question for a poll.

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
