Wife 1.0
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last year a friend of mine upgraded girlfriend 6.0
to Wife 1.0 and found that it's a memory hog leaving
very little system resources for other applications.
He is only now noticing that Wife 1.0 also is spawning
Child-Processes which are further consuming valuable
resources. No mention of this particular phenomena
was included in the product brochure or the documentation,
though other users have informed him that this is to be
expected due to the nature of the application.

Not only that, Wife 1.0 installs itself such that it
is always launched at system initialization where it
can monitor all other system activity.  He's finding
that some applications such as Poker Night 10.3,
Beer Bash 2.5, and Pub Night 7.0 are no longer able to
run, crashing the system when selected (even though they
always worked fine before).

At installation, Wife 1.0 automatically installs
undesired Plug-Ins such as Mother-In-Law 55.8 and
Brother-In-Law Beta release. As a consequence,
system performance seems to diminish with each passing
day.

Some features he'd like to see in the upcoming wife 2.0:

--A "Don't remind me again" button

--Minimize button

--An install shield feature that allows Wife 2.0 to be
installed with the option to uninstall at anytime
without the loss of cache and other
system resources.

I myself decided to avoid all of the headaches associated
with Wife 1.0 by sticking with Girlfriend 2.0. Even here,
however, I found many problems.  Apparently you cannot
install Girlfriend 2.0 on top of Girlfriend 1.0. You must
uninstall Girlfriend 1.0 first.  Other users say this is a long
standing bug which I should have been aware of.
Apparently the versions of Girlfriend have conflicts over
shared use of the I/O port. You think they would have fixed
such a stupid bug by now.  To make matters worse, the
uninstall program for Girlfriend 1.0 doesn't work very well,
leaving undesirable traces of the application in the system.

Another annoying problem: all versions of Girlfriend
continually pop up annoying messages about the
advantages of upgrading to Wife 1.0

***** BUG WARNING ********
Wife 1.0 has an undocumented bug.
If you try to install Mistress 1.1 before uninstalling
Wife 1.0, Wife 1.0 will delete MSMoney files before
executing a self-uninstallation.  Then Mistress 1.1 will
refuse to install, claiming insufficient system resources.

**** BUG WORK-AROUNDS ***************
To avoid the above bug, try installing Mistress 1.1
on a different system and never run any file transfer
applications such as Laplink 6.0.  Also, beware of
similar shareware applications that have been
known to carry viruses that may affect Wife 1.0.

Another solution would be to run Mistress 1.0 via a
UseNet provider under an anonymous name. Here
again, beware of the viruses which can accidentally
be downloaded from the UseNet.

P.S. Most women prefer men with a large RAM and CACHE availability.
