Just out of interest, am I the only wife on this list? Personally I 
think most of the comments about WAF, Significant others, She who must 
be obeyed etc, etc are pretty funny, and I generally enjoy relating them 
back to my husband. I often think I should comment on the HAF, though 
generally I'm not affected too much - my husband has been encouraging 
this project...

I do think I must be fairly unusual in that I'm the one building the 
MythTV box - plus I think I must have married the only engineer in the 
world who couldn't really care less about surround sound systems and big 
flat panel televisions...

Oh, and you are being PC :)
