All I know is that back in '95 or '96, I was spending well over 2 hours a day playing AW...make that MacAW. 2 or 3 hours a day may not seem like much, but when you have a 8 to 5 job, a wife, 3 young kids, I was often neglecting them...and I finally hit me when Mrs. Fry finally blew up about it.
My response of "But I HAVE to go online as I have responsibilities I've committed to" (trainer, helper, etc.) didn't go over too well as her response was "What about your responsibilities here!". That's when I realized that I needed to cut back some. We worked out a "schedule" and it's been pretty smooth sailing since. Of course, there are a few hiccups every now and then, but they always worked out.
I remember a Christmas/Hanukkah when I received a new set of CH Pedals from here...that's when I realized that she really DOES understand me and why I enjoyed playing AW. And it really hit home when I was doing a scenario and it's just past dinner time. I hear steps on the stairs coming down where I am in the basement and wondering if I'm going to have to stop to eat with the family. Well, as I look to the door, I see her coming toward me and in her arms is a dinner plate of food and a Guinness:)
Of course, letting me go to Cons and even hosting a Con, now that's an AW wife:D I hope she still remembers that as I embark on a new adventure here in AH (hoping to get online in the next day or two once I get my setup all configured correctly).
