probably.  Kept her so far for 26 years.  Although, when I turned 50, I 
told her I wanted either a mistress or a motor scooter.  So far all but 
two people recommend the motorscooter.  After all, it's far safer, more 
consistent ride, can be ignored for months and it will still be there, 
can be started easily and is ready to go in minutes.  You can even ride 
another scooter and not hurt anyone's feelings.

Yes, a scooter (Suzuki Burgman 400) is definitely in my future.

that is curious but should be okay in this context.

hey, it's no worse than myself when people simply mention anti-spam and 
I start going on about proof of work systems.  Worse yet, I pull out the 
mathematics behind proof for work systems and adoption rates.  or when 
talking about really simple web frameworks and I start talking about 
Akasha.

Boy oh boy, do the eyeballs glaze.  Then when I mention I could use some 
help, they head for the doors.

can I make it use a Akasha format instead of HTML?  (see, what did I 
tell you)

how are you at Python and do you have any spare time?  :-)

Seriously, I'll have to take the suggestions I've been given, set them 
up for her and stand back.  ever since the infamous "what do you mean 
you can't spell Emacs" incident from the spring of 91, I'm very careful 
about when to offer help.
