	You've been working too hard :-). I've never had an SO who
was a real computer type. I suppose it would be nice, an added attraction,
but hardly a necessity. Honestly, I'm not even sure if it would be
desirable - I spend too much time with computers as it is; I think
I prefer a woman who will get me away from the damn things.
