Actually husband's problem is that he doesn't listen. I had told him that all the SKype icons needed to be green. He forgot.
We will usually have a discussion about anything mechanical, but anything electrical, I leave alone.
Anything electronic that's new, I get to deal with. Cameras, cell phones, PDAs, etc, file formats and malware on the computer, also some computer programs.
If it hooks up to the TV, that's his department.
I bought a Roku box for Xmas last year, and it's still sitting up in his office while he tries to figure out what it does. He did the same with a VCR/DVD recorder that I bought for another Xmas. It took him almost 2 years to get that installed. Now it's hooked up to an analog TV, with 2 converter boxes, 4 remotes, and 2 different antennae. One outside, one in. That setup is confusing.
