smacksman Haha! It is very flattering to be compared with Steve Jobs! I don't design computers, I just put together components to build a PC. The task is to match the components to build a PC for different uses. So an office/word processing PC will be different to a top...

smacksman Good advice and wise words, arizen. I would only add my 2c and that is get a job and get out of the house for most of the day and leave the child to the ladies. That is tradition and the best balance for all in the house.
