Life in the 21st Century

Okay, so I'm sitting in my living room using the laptop; my wife is in the bedroom on our other computer and I IM her. The following is an edited copy of the conversation...

5:22:32 PM  Me        ¡Bueno! 
5:22:51 PM  Me        ¡Excelente! 
5:23:12 PM  The Wife  Hey! This is fun. How do you do that 
                      upside excl. point 
5:24:23 PM  Me        Use the upside down exclamation point
                      key. 
5:24:57 PM  Me        It's between the upside down "O" key
                      and the "Any" key 
5:26:11 PM  The Wife  Hey I like writing to you. It almost
                      like college times again. I mean here
                      we are discussing something as boring
                      as meatloaf and we could have spicier
                      discussions. Besides the kids aren't
                      paying that much attention 
5:28:11 PM  Me        They could 
5:29:17 PM  The Wife  [things married folk say when they
                      think no one can hear them]
5:29:53 PM  Me        You know that these conversations are
                      also stored on the computers 
5:30:08 PM  The Wife  what ? 
5:30:31 PM  Me        Yes, it's stored some place that can
                      be accessed later to see what's been
                      said. 
5:30:53 PM  The Wife  Just you and me can read them right 
5:31:07 PM  Me        File>>View Message History 
5:31:23 PM  The Wife  so we can erase them 
5:31:45 PM  Me        We have to get permission from
                      Microsoft. 
5:31:54 PM  The Wife  Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo! 
5:32:18 PM  Me        It depends on what they say after
                      they've read it. 
5:32:50 PM  The Wife  You're just trying to scare me,
                      mean trick 
5:33:39 PM  Me        It's fun having such a gullible
                      wife.
