FWIW, that was my first thought too, but I decided not to be the first to 
post it...

This probably explaines why I have no success with women, but I would 
agree. Your wife doesn't have to be interested in classic computers (or 
whatever), but she darn well should realise that if the man she claims to 
love is insterested in them then they are actually important to some 
people. And that you'd want your work to continue after your death.
