Re: technology and a persons age. I have friends that would never use a computer, some that only know how to turn it on-open a wordprocessor or e-mail program, and non my age that know how anything works.
All of my real computer friends IRL are 20 or more years younger than I am. I only have two friends my age with cell phones. I don't get the resistance they have for technology. Some friends will not leave a message on the tape/answering machine or what ever they call it in U.K.
RE: personal traits. Is your H from the U.K. and what religious beliefs does he and you lean towards. I watch science and cultural related programs on TV/telly. Interesting how a persons belief system relates to how they live.
One never knows how a spouse might react to posts here on the BB even if no one else could really figure out who you were in real life.
I have seen a couple of posters leave the BB because their SO found this BB. I have also seen couples solve M problems rather quickly when both are here on the BB.
ON SSM there is NOPkins and Mrs NOP. Both very successful DB'ers. They have the kind of marriage many wish to have. They both dispense very good advice, give good insight to their problems they had that others here could apply to their M.
My W asks me about DB BB. I say it is a relationship problem solving site. I am concerned if I use the words "Divorce Busting" she would get the idea I was thinking about D'ing her. If the site had a title like R 101 ("101" term for beginning college classes) or "Improving R communications" then I would use the name when I talk to her. W jumps to her worst case opinion rather quickly.
Re:computer stuff. I have no formal training in cvomputers. I started with a Commodor Vic 20, then a Commador 64 and bought the associated computer learning packages. With PC type computers I bought lots of books and magazines and did the projects listed. At one time I could pass the basic computer "A+ certification" but things change and I have not kept up with some of the Windows "XP" and network things.
Recently, a computer school graduate was saying she had a problem and I asked her if she "FDISKED" the harddrive. She never heard if it. They quit teaching that procedure in her school. That is why I mentioned it in my previous post.
I have a friend that has a multiple sclerosis (MS) and he has a degree (1980) in computers. If I get stumped, I call him for advise. Us "crips" (slang for people with a physical disability. Not the crips and bloods associated with Los Angeles CA) help each other out.
If you want to discuss something off the BB for fear of upsetting your H, I could e-mail you my e-mail add. but I suspect anything I might help you with, you probally have experience that works better than mine. It is nice to have supportive friends though.
I try to keep everything I say on the internet public so I don't look like I am trying to Hook-Up (like an EA) with anyone.
