    Talking Oldie but goodie

    Dear Tech Support:

    Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0. I soon noticed
    that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a
    lot of space and valuable resources. In addition, Wife 1.0 installed
    itself into all other programs and now monitors all other system
    activity.
    Applications such as PokerNight 10.3, Football 5.0, Hunting and
    Fishing 7.5, and Racing 3.6 no longer run, crashing the system
    whenever selected.
    I can't seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to
    run my favorite applications. I'm thinking about going back to
    Girlfriend 7.0, but the uninstall doesn't work on Wife 1.0.

    Please help!

    Thanks,
    A Troubled User

    Dear Troubled User:

    This is a very common problem about which men are complaining.
    Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0, thinking that it
    is just a Utilities and Entertainment program. Wife 1.0 is an
    OPERATING SYSTEM and is designed by its Creator to run EVERYTHING!!!
    It is also
    impossible to delete Wife 1.0 and to return to Girlfriend 7.0. It is
    impossible to uninstall, or purge the program files from the system
    once installed. You cannot go back to Girlfriend 7.0 because Wife 1.0
    is designed to not allow this. Look in your Wife 1.0 manual under
    Warnings-Alimony/Child-Support. I recommend that you keep Wife1.0 and
    work on improving the situation. I suggest installing the background
    application "Yes Dear" to alleviate software augmentation.
    The best course of action is to enter the command C APOLOGIZE because
    ultimately you will have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the
    system will return to normal anyway. Wife 1.0 is a great program, but
    it tends to be very high maintenance. Wife 1.0 comes with several
    support programs, such as Clean and Sweep
    3.0, Cook It 1.5 and Do Bills 4.2. However, be very careful how you
    use these programs. Improper use will
    cause the system to launch the program Nag Nag Nag 9.5. Once this
    happens, the only way to improve the performance of Wife 1.0 is to
    purchase additional software. I recommend Flowers 2.1 and Diamonds 5.0
    WARNING!!! DO NOT, under any circumstance, install Secretary With
    Short Skirt 3.3. This application is not supported by Wife 1.0 and
    will cause irreversible damage to the operating system.

    Best of luck,
    Tech Support


    So is format C: when you kill her?
    Get me a soldering iron and some duct tape, and I'll see what I can do.

    Dear Cyphrr

    Format c: is a destructive measure. When formatting to get rid of wife you also destroy any and all financial programming. Due to the nature of these programs it is impossible to reinstall and get them back just as they were. It is often best to not try and retain old finances but to start again from the beginning.

    Hope this clarifies things.
