We use to be a 2 computer household  (well there were more in the late 90s when I was teaching myself everything I could about computers to advance my career prospects in the Sillicon Valley) but with a tightening of the pursestrings we are down to 1.  (A laptop is coming soon  ... for business, but that will be shared as well). Jo's computer is a 2001 Gateway with  8 gb of hd ...  it's just too weak to even run the internet any more ...  so we share mine right now.  We have one password.  I trust her.  She never doesn anything funkie.  Never has.  She gets on  ... does some stuff in word, checks her e-mail, e-bay and a couple other sites and does some studying with her online courses.  Nothing to put the system at risk. I'm  okay with that.  I've known her for 42 years, if I can't trust  her now, when will I?

When we get the  laptop ( part of a "funding award" I'm recieving to start my Graphics Design business) she will be able to work on that while I work on the desktop. that is all good.  It can be done.  If the right combination of personalities are involved. :)
