Talking with the husband

This morning my husband had an appointment to drop off a sample at the Fertility Clinics lab. We live only 10mins away from the clinic but it was peak hour traffic so it took us a bit longer to get there so we were chatting while we were caught in traffic.

I asked my husband if he there was anything I should ask the nurse when I ring for my results this afternoon. He said there wasn't and then he was quiet for a few minutes before he said "did you notice that Dr S's computer was running XP while the nurse's computer was running Windows 7? I wonder if that's because Dr S is using some programs that aren't compatible with Windows 7?"

On the way home from Dr S's office on Friday, he asked a similar question about the ultrasound machine. I asked if he was uncomfortable being with me while the ultrasound was done, as it was an internal. His response was "no, you were covered up. I just couldn't work out the picture on the screen. How does the image get mapped like that? I wonder what software that is?"

Ah, to be married to a database administrator and someone who writes code just for fun.
