She married a Greek but I married a geek!
Anybody else have this problem?

My wife (The Empress) has been a geek since she built her first main frame in 1987. Along with her geekie friends Falon, Jade Barbee, Adam & Leslie, and especially Rob Roth aka "Glamnerd") they have spent years staring into computer monitors, inventing the Internet and generally geeking out.

The other day I called Tekserve (original Mac stronghold since the eighties) about a music software question. The girl asked my name and I told her. She gasped.
"Johnny Dynell"? My head swelled like a Macy's thanksgiving Day balloon as I thought "she knows my work".
Then...
"Wow, Johnny Dynell" she exclaimed, "as in Chi Chi Valenti"?
AS IN CHI CHI VALENTI?!!!!!!
Are you kidding me?
Her name is synonymous with geek!

What am I to do?
I married a geek.
It's horrible.

Wait a minute...
I'm having a tech problem.
I need someone to zap my P Ram or something.
Help!
Who can I call?
Gotta go.



Honey?
Can you take a look at my computer?

She's big people in the goof ball world of the geek.

Daddy, I know all about zapping the PRAM and such. I fix Macs for a living. I even do surgery. I can probably help if you are still in need.

That is so good to know joshua!
If my I.T. guy (pictured above) can't help me I'll call on the doctor.

The problem that I was having had to do with "Skype". Something that my DJ daughter Sammy Jo aka Pickles made me install so that could we could talk for free. I have to admit, Sammy and I had a kee kee but my computer didn't like it.

Skype's system is incredibly robust, even in the face of odd firewalls and such. I'd look up compatibility with your OS version and Skype version, and the usual: permissions issues, RAM specs, free disk space, disk directory corruption etc.

But with an I.T. guy like that, who'd ever even think to stray?
