Your significant other or your consumer electronics?
I have a friend who has had a girlfriend for at least a year, though when it comes down to setting his priorities, his consumer electronics come first. Most of his dates also involve said electronics. Granted, he's a sound engineer, but...

Good luck trying to hump an amplifier.
My significant other definitely. I wouldn't emigrate to another continent for some electronic gizmo.

Well, the joy of electronics would be diminished somewhat by the absence of my left hand, but the joy of my left hand would disappear entirely without electronics. Tough choice.

For about a year, Mark Allen, a gay man living in New York, conducted an online relationship with a man living in Austin, Texas. But as the relationship matured, Allen realized it wasn't his cyberboyfriend he was falling in love with, it was his PowerMac G3.

wow, that's strange. Most human-computer relationships I've heard of are of the master-slave type.

This isn't my computer, and I don't have an SO, so I had to choose "banana," which seems a bit unfair. I feel so discriminated against.

I have too many electronics to be fussed over one guy.
Plenty more fish in the sea, and at least you can listen to surround sound whilst waiting

The best thing about being gay is being able to look at porn with your SO.
