Can you believe it - my wife... - Page 3

Nice one! I recently got a great-ish computer from work, and my wife got so peeved at me playing on it that she made me move the old one to the top of the stairs and set her up a micro office (tiny desk, chair and computer - I've kept the 5.1 surround) so she can get on with studying for her Masters...

I say study for her Masters, but everytime I go up she's either "just checking facebook" or "just checking emails" so unless her degree is in social networking or internet communications...

Recently she started with Facebook and she's wanting more time online. So she wants me to get another computer for games. Would you believe it I got a free pass to go get a computer that will handle SH5 specs. Holy cow....

1. Strike while the iron is hot!

2. So you'll be a facebook widow now.

(don't ask how I know that

Haven't played for ten years. In my prime during the late 80s / early 90s I was a part-time session drummer, and backed a number of well known Australian singers; pop and jazz (SS, you may see one or two on my FB

). Had my own band for a while, then played keyboards in an upcoming Sydney band (recorded at Studios 301), but by 2000 I'd pretty much retired.

Now I arrange and produce my daughter's music - she's a budding songwriter. She's 7, and yes I'm proud. She's been the catalyst for me pursuing a hobby interest in audio mastering.

I was equally lucky; my wife is Polish and spends time on the desktop talking to her friends and family back home, as well as monopolising it for work purposes; I was able to persuade her that what I needed was a high-end laptop to do my stuff on; SH5, Train sim, and a bit of music and video editing......

Voila! Dell Precision 6400, Dual core T9400, Quadro graphics, WuXGA, 8gb ram and 320 of HDD..... ok, no ssd drives but working on that too!
Running on Win7 Ultimate it is amazing!
Still pinching myself to see if I have died and gone to heaven - a beautiful wife in port and a superb laptop, what more could a Kaleun want?
