[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 685084, member: 1963"] I think my biggest frustration was that back in the copper wire days of networking, I could talk about my work to my husband and he could understand it and learn about it. Once we got into satellites and microwaves and virtual circuits, his eyes just glazed over. I missed that sharing between us. I used to bring him a beer or mug of tea or coffee (he made the coffee in advance) when he needed to chill. We didn't really have a man cave. I had an office from which I ran the cattery and did work from home stuff. I had a second computer in there for funsies, and he used to go hide in there and play multi user modem games in the early days and such, and run several newsgroups. We managed to stay out of each others hair when needed. [/QUOTE]
