So you think YOU are obsessed?

For some reason, he absolutely cannot stand being at home while I'm on the computer and he isn't unless he's sleeping. I've noticed myself askng him if he'd like to take a nap several times on the weekends, just so I can play with my Sims.
I have been there! "Honey, you look exhausted. How about a widdle nap for the hubby-wubby?" I've been thisclose to slipping him a mickey. Kidding!
Up until last February, we shared a computer. Which sucked. So when he began eyeing a very expensive watch (conveniently just before Valentine's Day), I took that and ran with it. He got his watch, I got my laptop. While we were browsing laptops, my husband actually told the salesman that I needed one with such-and-such requirements to be able to play Sims 2. Never in a million years thought I'd ever hear my husband say that, since pre-watch, he was ready to throw my game out the window.

Hopefully we won't have to share a computer for too much longer. Earlier in our relationship and in the beginning of our marriage we had two separate computers. Although I'm still trying to figure out the math, I think keeping two computers upgraded with the latest technology is three times as expensive as keeping one computer upgraded. This is because when one part goes on Computer A, Computer B must receive a similar new part even if it doesn't need it. We got tired of constantly upgrading both computers, so we combined all the best parts into one (and incidentally started upgrading far less often!)
My employers have a nice employee purchase program for computer equipment (basically a 2 year interest free loan) and my iBook is just about paid off. We have no room for a second computer now so we're likely going to user our 52" HDTV as a monitor and get a wireless keyboard and mouse. Hubby's still figuring out the logistics of it all, but let me tell you, I can't WAIT to play Sims on a huge screen.

I've been thinking about doing that as well. Big-screen sims would be perfection.

The database that Pegasys made is quite nice, still in testing but hey what the hell. YOu have to enter stuff in yourself, but its not too shabby if you ask me.

Convince your honey that he would like a new computer. This is not hard. When he gets one, you take his old one. When you need a new video card, convince him that HE needs a new video card. When he gets one, you take his old one. Sometimes the guilt gets to him and he buys you a nice flat screen monitor. Works for me!
