Ok, I have to chime in. My wife is a Novell Certified Netware Systems
Administrator, she maintains all the daily operations for my ISP where
she works daily with GNU/Linux Debian servers, knows her way around
9x/NT/2K/XP/Etc, personally uses 2 laptop computers with 802.11 wireless
systems (one outbound, one around the house) and she codes HTML by hand.

On top of all that, *she* was the one who found the DTXpressII at the
local Guitar Center and bought it for me as a gift for this last xmas
(complete surpirse!). Said she was tired of me staring longingly towards
the dusty Pearl kit in the corner that (due to two children in the house
asleep or doing homework) there was no opertune time to play anymore. :)

Anyway, just wanted to let you guys know there *are* tech-literate, guy
friendly girls, you just have to find the right one! And, in case you
were wondering, she's not only talented, but very cute too! Check out
this pic of her perched atop my tri-amp PA system from when I used to
play with my band:
