Are You a Computer Junkie with a Computer Illiterate Spouse?

I just wanna know how many computer junkies out there like me have a spouse who would do good to find the on/off switch? To my husband, booting up is something you do before you work in mud, screen in something on the outside of a window, surfing is something you do at the beach, and blogging? Well, he has NO idea what that means. He knows I am a writer. He supports me 100%. But otherwise, he is clueless! Tell me - can your spouse out blog you or are they parked in front of the boob tube while you're glued to the laptop?

Both of us are into computers, not that expert but has enough knowledge. I do ask more questions regarding some applications and software but more he knows on the hardware stuffs. He was the one who assembled our desktop computer. So i don't worry if ever there's a problem on our computer because he can fix it very well. Although i am a stay at home wife and works online , he does support me when he has time because he does have a regular work to attend to. But it's good that we can help each other on making some extra money. Although sometimes we do argue about instructions since i do insist something else, and he does something too, lolz at least your hubby isn't to blame you if the site is a scam or not. But anyway we never invested money on something we don't trust online. For now, we do observe first before we decide on something. Happy Mylotting.

no, he cannot be to blame if i get scammed or get a virus. he doesn't know enough to get into that kind of trouble. matter of fact, when i have troubles with mine, he just wants to buy me a new one! (kind of nice, too!)

Mine is the same, he is completely computer illiterate! I did teach him how to turn the computer on and off so that he could play spider solitaire, but that was afew months ago, so he's probably forgotten how to do that now. I've also shown him things of interest on the internet, but he still can't work out scrolling down the screen! I suppose in a way it is quite handy, as it means we are not competing to use the computer!
