[78-L] For those married folks, how does your spouse fell about your record collection?

[simmonssomer]

No problemo. A large room has been designated for my electronics, records 
books and tapes. No further encroachment or expansion will be considered by 
the authorities.
TV's and DVD players are allowed elsewhere as well as a computer and its 
correlary equipment.
Am I a man or a mouse?
Squeak!
