Ahh,---- the Wife----A tough situation--If you "screw" up on the computer,
your chances of "screwing" her will drop, exponentially,---or-- maybe not.
Buy the book -"--Mac for Assholes" ----all the Maccies use that one, do a
cram course - and hope that the lovely "Mrs. X" takes notice. Try to talk
your friend into using Windows. You could teach him, and work on her, all
at the same time.

In a Mac, it's known as the "G" spot. Most Maccies are unaware of it.

Be brave - it's the only way to spend time with the Wife.

Do what I said -- it will work out -- I promise. Also - move FAST.

Let me know - I usually charge for the advise - I have many, many Maccies
paying me to be their "Savior".
