coolest Wife EVER!!!
Yes, that's right. I am laying claim to having the coolest wife ever! Why? Well, let's start with the basics. She tolerates my orchid habit, never once complaining about the time, the expense, the space used in the house, or anything else. I am also a pipe smoker and Juli has never complained about the pipes, the tobacco, or me smoking in the house (and if you are wondering, no, I do NOT mix pipe smoking and orchids). That alone qualifies her as pretty awesome.
Well, Sunday she said to me, "John, expect a delivery at work in a couple of days." So I thought, wow, maybe she's sending me an orchid! Or maybe one of those edible arrangement things. And today the FedEx guy came in and handed me a Macintosh PowerBook Pro. The laptop I've drooled over for many years! Do you agree that this elevates her to Goddess status?  |

Well...
The laptop is a most useful tool and it's way more expensive than a shipment of orchids.
I'd say, that is awesome.

Good point, Sue! How many people get mauled by their husband's dog and let him keep the dog? I have a true gem. |

So what can it do? Why were you drooling over it?
