We have a Navy flight sim at school. I'm in a pool of students they are going to use as "test pilots". I can't wait! :D

There was also the dude who had a billion monitors and configured them to look like the cockpit of a 747, but I don't have a link for that one

I'd have told her you can find some room. You've got your eye on a wife-sized parcel she's been hoarding ;)
Or better yet, do what I do. I always tell her my stuff has the potential to bring in money, she'll have to get rid of some of HER crap to make room for my valuable commodities, and I start suggesting stuff for her to get rid of. I always start with the knick-knacks, then I move on to her closet....seems every time I do that, she goes and has herself a shutupsicleTM ;D

Naw...your wife is right. I keep all my Maximum PCs and Wireds and Playboys and Food & Wines and I rarely revisit any of them besides Food & Wine for recipes. I'll reference something in the others periodically, but not enough to make it worth the space they take up. And when I DO decide to look something up it usually takes WAY more time than it's worth because I never know which issue I saw something in so I usually look through about a year's worth before I find what I'm looking for.
Speaking of the magazines, I think I'm going to let my Playboy subscription lapse and it's for a comical reason. I think the articles have been going downhill. You know, the whole, "I read playboy for the articles," bit of comedy... Well, of course that's not the only reason I got it, but Playboy used to have a great reputation. Some of the literary world's best writers contributed on a regular basis and playboy was known for getting fascinating exclusive interviews. With non-photographic content going down the drain what good is the magazine? I have to be connected to the internet in order to post to this website, so it's not as though there is a shortage of porn around. But I digress...
Maximum PC isn't as good as it once was either, sadly but I'm going to hold onto that one for a bit longer.

Ya, what's with the "duck, duck, goose" editors? Hopefully the new guy (who's been around for a while) will take it back in the right direction...I find myself reading or being interested in less of each issue
