You might wanna try couple of beta versions, and some Release candidates before official release of v.2.00

Married 26 years. To a really great person. She is my equal in all aspects. In fact one night she said to me that if she died I would get married again in a heartbeat. I told her No I never make the same mistake twice.. You see she also has a sense of humor which is why I can still sleep at night with my eyes closed.

Rich,
You're a lucky guy. I just passed the 14 year mark and the only real question I have concerning marriage is how has she put up with me for this long. I really think she gets a kick out of all of my obsessions; she is more likely to bring up my straight razor affliction than I am in conversations with our friends. This is not to say she does not get exasperated at times...just a couple of days ago, right after I got delivery of an e-bay lot of 15 razors, she asked me something about collecting things. I of course did't see it coming and when off on a tangent about not understanding collections...if you're not going to use something why bother owning it? Then she asked how many razors one person could realistically use . She too is a scientist, and unlike her husband, rarely opens her mouth without facts to back her up. She said something about my normal 13 razor rotation (stored in the bathroom) and the 43 additional ones in various stages of restoration. I knew better than to question her numbers, especially since she was probably only counting the ones that were on the bar (where I hone) and on my workbench. I was at a loss for words (I know that's hard to believe), she just laughed and let it go.

Ain't life grand?

Ed,
tell her it's an investment.
Stock markets may plummet and the world end up in chaos.
But men will always need to shave

P.S. my girlfriend laughed at me when I used this argument, I wonder why...

Ed,

My wife I think tries not to see how many I have. She usually just shakes her head and says nothing.. Oh well.

I told my wife that my collection of choppers would come in handy for lopping off heads the next time the zombies attacked. For some reason she didn't ask any more questions.

The only time mine stops asking questions is when I have my 1911 in hand....go figure.

My wife's got a 1911 (Kimber) of her own, so that just changes the conversation to firearms instead of razors. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
