Upgrade From Girlfriend 1.0 to Wife 1.0

To: Technical Support

Last year I upgraded Girlfriend 1.0 to Wife 1.0 and noticed that

the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot

of space and valuable resources. No mention of this phenomenon was

included in the product brochure. In addition, Wife 1.0 installs

itself into all other programs and launches during system

initialization where it monitors all other system activity.

Applications such as Pokernight 10.3 and Beerbash 2.5 no longer

run, crashing the system whenever selected. I can not seem to purge

Wife 1.0 from my system. I am thinking about going back to

Girlfriend 1.0 but un-install does not work on this program. Can

you help me?

From: Technical Support

This is a very common problem men complain about but is mostly due

to a primary misconception. Many men upgrade from Girlfriend 1.0 to

Wife 1.0 with the idea that Wife 1.0 is merely a "UTILITIES &

ENTERTAINMENT"

program. Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and designed

by its creator to run everything. It is impossible to un-install,

delete, or purge the program from the system once installed. You can

not go back to Girlfriend 1.0 because Wife 1.0 is not designed to do

this. Some have tried to install Girlfriend 2.0 or Wife 2.0 but end

up with more problems than were in the original system.

Look in your manual under Warnings - Alimony / Child Support. I

recommend you keep Wife 1.0 and just deal with the situation. Having

Wife 1.0 installed myself, I might also suggest you read the entire

section regarding General Protection Faults (GPFs). You must

assume all responsibility for faults and problems that might occur.

The best course of action will be to push apologize button then reset

button as soon as lock-up occurs. System will run smooth as long

as you take the blame for all GPFs. Wife 1.0 is a great program

but is very high maintenance.
