From a Shark Bait posting at Computerworld:

Quote:

Strange results from a new survey suggests a very strong correlation between the frequency of rebooting your computer with the frequency of getting laid.



The average PC user reboots about once every week or two. Oddly, the average frequency of getting laid coincides.



A laptop user is more likely to reboot every day or two and on average is more likely to have relations that is similar.



The uber-geeks running unix have a machine that rarely is re-started. Sadly, the probability of being laid for these individuals is near zero.

That just means she's getting a lot, Felix. You've still got a Linux box...

Or are you playing around with Windows in your spare time, just to keep it going? [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

What if you have 4 windows computers?

Ahh who am I kidding... I'm married... my sex life is far closer to my Win 2003 Server box (probably less than twice a year on average) than the desktop my kids are allowed to install stuff on (4 times a day).
