My other half never signed up here (probably safer for me
) but she nicked the X5 off me 14 months ago and ran it until we replaced it with the Mini. She is also a gadget girl and both her E46 and our (hers really) Mini are fully loaded. I think the Mini has about £11k of options on top of £21k car!! Even a 747 flight deck has less switches, gizmos, things that go bleep, bong, buzz or other combinations than her cars! You're far from alone on that front. I actually had the temerity to call her a Geek yesterday. The problem in her case is that I have to learn how to use them all coz she hasn't read the manual.....and that's 'illegal' for me as I is a Ingineer and RTFM is a sackable offence for us ingineers..
Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.
