Summary: 

That leads me to a question that has been on my mind lately (like, for the 
past 6 or 7 years).  How many of you out there find that you can have a 
long-term relationship with someone who is not involved in computers?
(This assumes that you yourself are so involved, if not then
g/computers/s//my-field/.)  This is probably as much a factor of being
wrapped up in my work as anything else, but I find that I have a hard
time being with someone with whom I can't discuss what I'm doing (was
that proper English?).  The catch is, that if I *am* with someone who is
in the field (my SO comes to mind) I tend to expect too much from them.
Suggestions?  Comments?  Personal experiences?
