I support our family as a DBA/Developer...prior to that, I supported it teaching other people how to be DBA's. Heck, my wife an I MET in a computer lab for chrissakes. She's known I'm a geek/nerd for a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time.
She's awesome though...her response to any new plane I bring home is "That's nice."...she's even actually LIKED a couple of them.
Of course, the fact that I support my hobby with poker winnings and not paychecks probably helps.
