We'll call this, There I fixed it.

Some years ago my tenacious fighter pilot tech wife and I were driving from our cabin in the woods to Anaheim California to visit the folks. We stopped for the night at a motel 6 (because we're bad a$$) in Beaver Utah. We checked in and went off to our room where there was supposed to be free WiFi for all. There was a strongish SSID I could connect to that looked like it was the motel's but it was secured and we were not given the PW. So my wife went down to the desk to ask the international family running the place what the PW might be and was greeted with the equivalent of "Ri Do No" (Think scooby doo). My dear wife, gosh I love her, said I'm a tech, can I have a look at your router? Which they inexplicably let her (She is a traffic stopper even after 8 hours in a car) so she must have stunned Dad because she came back into the room where she left me and said matter of factually, " I reset the router, look for Linksys, it should work now". I said "You Whaaa...." but hey it connected and I had the internet! So thanks babe, you're the best. I think I fell asleep right after that. So if you ever find the Wifi at the Beaver Utah motel 6 open and free (I doubt you will) you can thank Tenacious K.
I never use hotel or restaurant WiFi. It's always dreadful. One anecdote though... I was staying at a hotel (in Las Vegas, baby) and the WiFi kept dropping out. Each room had its own device, cleverly hidden behind the TV. So I unplugged mine, connected to the device in the next room, and called it good.

So, if she can do all the techy stuff, what exactly is it that you contribute to the relationship?
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Beep-beep, beep-beep, yeah!

I'm a tech too, but without the pleasantness and the the woman's intuition. I swear sometimes I just stand there dumbfounded because she fixed something on a hunch that's not documented anywhere. We run a mom n' pop (and dog) computer and networking shop. She's out front where she babys the walk ins and I'm in the back where my bad attitude from 40 years in various technical disciplines as left me with little patience for "normals" running amok on the internet wondering "why this is happening to me and can't a law be passed, I did a defrag" can't be seen. :-D

So she stays out front and smiles, while you stay out back and swear. Teamwork. You can't beat it.

Yeah that's about it. The 75-80 year old men with that windows 10 come in and treat her like the "little lady" makes me mental more than anything. When she is trying to teach, each of their replys begin with the word "well" which we all know means "You may say that but this is what I think". Then they blame that Bill Gates for it. :doh:
