1) Women are far more erratic than even the buggiest computer and you can troubleshoot a buggy computer.
2) Computers also don't get jealous if you consider upgrading or replacing your current computer.
3) You don't need to ask your computer for permission to head out of town on a trip, head out drinking or whatever, and your computer will be patiently waiting for you when you return.
4) Computers can be expensive, but are still much cheaper...

I still say string, and call it lingerie. Even better, an eye patch and four band aids.
But no seriously, think outside the box. Find something she'll use all the time, or do something special with jewelry, like have something thoughtful that means something to your relationship on it, like something you said to her when you first dated. Doesn't have to be expensive, its the thought that counts and that goes a lot farther and can mean a lot more than how much you spend.
And if you can't think of anything, women always love those baskets of cremes, bath salts, and lotions. Victoria's Secret has those.

I wonder if there's a way you can make it harder for her to buy more shoes. How did she find the stores last time? GPS? Phone Book? Desk Clerk?
