I'm sorry to be laughing at your suffering, quietrob, but this really is an entertaining thread. And, indeed, we can ALL relate.

I can't imagine anyone using my machine without asking me, nevermind actually closing any windows. My dear hubby is very respectful of my computer. He also hates every OS except DOS and WinXP. He sort of tolerates Win7, but since my computer has Win 8, it's pretty much completely safe -- in the same way that my pink socks are completely safe (and will not accidentally find themselves in his sock drawer or being stretched over his size 12 feet).

If he did something like close down a really long render, he'd have to cope with a fit that would probably measure on the Richter scale and cause tsunami warnings all over the Pacific coast. At the very least, he'd know he -owed- me.

So you have that. She now -owes- you. I hope you get something you really like from it. :)
