Hah! GREAT story Damion!
Myself, I've been blessed with a wife who has always been very open to trying new technologies. I remember when we were dating I gave her a Compaq Aero Pocket PC...I don't know how much she actually used it, but she tried. ;-) She's uses a Pocket PC more than I do now (I'm using a Smartphone currently), and she loves our Roku M2000 that's in the living room - she listens to streaming Internet radio stations, and loads up favourite artists and songs when she's in the mood for something specific. Upstairs, she uses WMP11 to access music on our NAS drive and loads up her Dell Ditty with work-out music.
About the only "tech challenge" in our household right now is over the Logitech Harmony remote control - I'm having trouble getting the on-screen display optimized and some of the "one button" tasks don't work properly. So while I usually use it, my wife prefers the mish-mash of the five remote controls we have. I shall be victorious though, I just need to spend some time tweaking the interface on the remote...
