Bravo ... I, too, am in a similar situation. My wife deplored computers, as
they took me away too often. (She thought of them as the enemy!) But lo, I
convinced her that it would be easier to write her thesis on a computer. Now,
after purchasing the Mac, I have to beg for time on the machine! And here, I
thought she would only use the machine for her thesis ... then never look
at it again!
My wife has also has become a "computer expert" on the Apple II[ce]'s that
she sometimes uses. It seems the Mac broke some barriers down.
