Not only that I can discuss Java and Oracle too. Only time when we had technical discussion was when I said that Oracle was a crap but she stood for oracle. Ofcourse I had to stop the discussion and since then we never had any technical discussion.:)

Not all the time, but it's good to have a wife with whom you could discuss some issues knowing that she can make sense of what you are saying. The point is we all are quite passionate about software/programming and that passion is not about to die, so it would be nice if your wife atleast understood what you are doing. It would be pretty sad if you do something really cool and you show it to your wife and she dosen't even understand what you have done. "Hello, World" 17 Errors, 31 Warnings...

Hope somebody can offer me some good advice. I met this guy almost two years ago in an ICQ chat room. Well we started emailing each other a lot and sending pics and chatting a lot. This month he finally flew over to meet and he stayed in a hotel in town. We had a lot of fun together it was great, but towards the end of the first week I found he really did not know anything about computers :(( and was just really a user. I think I would hate to stay in a relationship where I was totally the technology savvy partner. Is it right for me to dump him, just because he does not understand OSes and can not program? Am I being selfish wanting somone who can boot from a floppy? I hope I have not bothered anyone by posting this here, but I thought I would turn to my friends first. :rose: Janice :rose:

I, too, find this really funny. :) I think a relationship should be based on more than computers, so if you do like him and you have common interests, then keep in touch with him. her legs were like peanut butter - smooth and creamy and easy to spread

Yes that does sound week does it not :-(( And we do not really have any common interests. :rose: Janice :rose:

Janice wrote: I think I would hate to stay in a relationship where I was totally the technology savvy partner. Knowlege of computers isn't everything. Everyone has their own interests and specialties; find out what his are. You may be able to teach each other quite a bit. If you can't find out what his interests/specialties are, then there's a good chance you're heading into a very dull relationship.

:-D :-D :-D yeah... That reminds me , a long long time ago when i first ventured from the Turbo C++ world into windows programming. I bought a book, Windows programming with Borland C++ i had no idea about Windows API or the OWL library. I wrote my hello world program using OWL and u can guess how many errors and warning i encountered, i didn't even have the OWL library :-D :-D :-D Anyways i think that set me back quite a bit and this was before the Net so i had no idea about how to proceed and this is how i ventured into the world of VB :-O :-O but thankfully i am out of it now. :) :) Do you program in Assembly ?" she asked.

I'm a software developer and as so I have to work with users too often. I find they really give me headaches. Most of the people I work with are male and I prefer the smart ones by far. I really enjoy stimulating conversation and discovering, having to teach a guy anything doesn't interest me. If we get in to a long term relationship and I have continually have to explain things to him I'll be driven crazy. :rose: Janice :rose:

Janice wrote: Am I being selfish wanting somone who can boot from a floppy? There's nothing wrong with wanting a partner who shares your abilities and interests. And there is good reason to avoid a man who poses as someone he is not. The dishonesty won't stop when the courtship is over... Janice wrote: I hope I have not bothered anyone by posting this here, but I thought I would turn to my friends first. I'm glad you thought to ask us. No one here has anything to gain by encouraging you or attempting to dissuade you from this relationship. We just want all of our friends here to find happiness and a life of contentment. It is always right, IMHO, to dump a doomed relationship, no matter what grandiose gestures were made to initiate it. There is no unhappiness in Dante's wildest imaginings so great as being with a partner who is wrong for you. It is far better to suffer the pangs of loneliness, than to be trapped in a relationship with a 'wrong' person!

Is it right for me to dump him, just because he does not understand OSes and can not program? As an admin you should be accustomed to LART'ing. If it turns out he's incapable or unwilling to learn... Well, wouldn't you say it's grounds for account termination? But I'd also say that if you've kept in touch with this person for two years and didn't find out he's a computer illiterate until you met him IRL, maybe his computer skills matches your person skills? :-> Am I being selfish wanting somone who can boot from a floppy? I don't think so, it's just common sense to look for someone that knows at least the most basic of procedures during an earthquake in the SF bay area. Rather, stay away from someone that don't know what to do.
