I met mine while I was a senior admin at an ISP in New York. She was a
friend of someone I had become friends with there (actually, was his
first grrlfriend). She came to work for the company in billing, and I
spent the first week trying to remember my name.
So, she learned that I was too geek to live, and has set about trying to
domesticate me. It's caused many a battle. She understands my desire
to collect computers, but doesn't share the same joy. In fact, she's
been suggesting I get rid of my PDP-11/34a, after we bought it together,
and she didn't realize how large it was. There was much rejoicing at
the thought that she would find it interesting learning old technology,
but she lost interest immediately upon seeing a 6' rack being trundled
into the living room.
So, I may be looking to sell/trade a PDP-11/34a, in the Toronto, ON
area, in the very near future. :(
