Dear Tech Support,
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0
and noticed a slowdown in the performance of the flower
and jewellery system.

Dear Tech Support,
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0
and noticed a slowdown in the performance of the flower
and jewellery system.
In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other
valuable programs, such as Romance 9.9, but installed
undesirable programs such as Hunting 7.4, NASCAR
3.2 and NFL 4.1. Conversation 8.0 also no longer runs
and House cleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.
I\'ve tried running Bitching 5.3 to fix these problems,
but to no avail. What can I do?
Signed,
Desperate
Dear Desperate,
First, keep in mind that Boyfriend 5.0 was an
entertainment package, while Husband 1.0 is an
operating system.
Try to enter the command C:\\ I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME and
install Tears 6.2. Husband 1.0 should then
automatically run the applications: Guilt 3.3 and
Flowers 7.5. But remember, overuse can cause Husband
1.0 to default to such background applications as
Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0, or Beer 6.1.
Please remember that Beer 6.1 is a very bad program
that will create SnoringLoudly.WAV files.
DO NOT install Mother-In-Law 1.0 or reinstall another
Boyfriend program. These are not supported applications
and will crash Husband 1.0.
It will also potentially cause Husband 1.0 to default
to the program: Girlfriend 9.2, which runs in the
background and has been known to introduce
potentially serious viruses into the Operating System.
In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does
have a limited memory and can\'t learn new applications
quickly. You might consider buying
additional software to enhance his system performance.
I personally recommend Hot Food 3.0 and SingleMalt
Scotch 4.5 combined with such applications as that old
standby... Lingerie 6.9 (which has been credited with improved
performance of his hardware).
Good Luck,

Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 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

Football 5.0 no longer run, crashing the system whenever selected. I can
not seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run some of my other favourite applications. I am thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7.0, but un-install does not work on this program.
Can you help me, please? Otherwise, I\'m screwed.
Thanks
Joe
Dear Joe Screwed:
This is a very common problem men complain about but is mostly due to a primary misconception. Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 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 unlikely you would be able to purge Wife 1.0 and still convert back to Girlfriend 7.0. Hidden operating files within your system would cause Girlfriend 7.0 to emulate Wife 1.0 so nothing is gained. It is impossible to un-install, delete, or purge the program files from the
system once installed. You can not go back to Girlfriend 7.0 because Wife 1.0
is not designed to do this. Some have tried to install Girlfriend 8.0 or Wife 2.0 but end up with more problems than 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 Partnership Faults (GPFs).
You must assume allresponsibility for faults and problems that might occur, regardless of their cause. The best course of action will be to enter the command
C:\\APOLOGISE.
In any case avoid excessive use of the \"Esc\" key because ultimately you
will have to give the APOLOGISE command before the operating system will
return to normal. The system will run smooth as long as you take the blame =
for all the GPFs.
Wife 1.0 is a great program, but very high maintenance. Consider buying addition software to improve the performance of Wife
1.0. I recommend Flowers 2.1 and Chocolates 5.0.
Do not, under any circumstances, install Secretary With Short Skirt 3.3. This is not a supported application for Wife 1.0 and is likely to cause irreversible
damage to the operating system.
Best of luck

In memoriam | There is news! | Dec 8, 2002 |
I have just (through a friend at MarriageSoft) got hold of the Husband 2.0 (Chicago) version which I\'m testing right now.
Besides a few bugs in the TENDER MEETINGS function, it works beautifully.
I especially recommend the new NEVER FORGET TO TELL function containing wonderful graphics.
Full function version expected on Dec 24.
Ideal for well versed Husband 1.0 users.

...can\'t find the e-mail I once received, but this one is very easy to restore (I have been working with Wife 1.0 for 15+ years...).
The first problem I noticed with Wife 1.0 was that the free cancellation option that came as standard with various versions of Girlfriend 3.x or higher was replaced by a rather costly opt-out clause that requires you to pay license fees even if you change to a completely different version of Wife x.0.

Also, upgrading to Wife 1.0 involved having to install and henceforth operate various sub-programmes (including, but not limited to, Take-Off-Shoes-When-Coming-Home 3.1 and Sit-Down-On-Toilet 8.0). At the same time, Wife 1.0 activated a number of subroutines: Lingerie 5.0 was replaced by Washable Cotton Undies 0.3 (beta), to name just one.
On the upside, Cooking x.x has been constantly upgraded, to the current version 24.1.
There is one major problem, however, with Romp 6.x - when trying to start it, Wife 1.0 replied with the following message:
Invalid dongle - running in demo mode only

I got this piece of news from a site, specializing in addictions. A half-new program / trojan comes with a worm per email, uninstalls any AI (Anti-Internet) software or firewall and spreads thru your system, freezing all other resident programs, while keeping main programs (Boyfriend, Girlfriend, Husband, Wife x.x) running all the time in the background..... this program is called ProZ 4.0 and once installed, you don\'t even dream about deleting it, as you stop worrying about some minor hiccups with Wife x.x or Husband x.x.
Sleep well, adieu system crash.... ProZ 4.0 is 100% compatible.

F: Wieviele Newsgroup-Leser braucht man, um eine Glühbirne auszuwechseln ?
A: 1692(!)
1 der die Glühbirne auswechselt und an die Mailingliste schreibt, dass sie ausgewechselt wurde.
14 die ähnliche Erfahrungen gemacht hatten und schreiben, wie man die Glühbirne anders hätte wechseln können.
7 die auf die Gefahren des Glühbirnenauswechselns hinweisen.
27 die auf Tippfehler und grammatikalische Fehler hinweisen, die in Glühbirnenpostings gemacht wurden.
53 die die Grammatiker beleidigen und anschnauzen.
156 die den List-Administrator anschreiben, sich über die Glühbirnenmails beschweren und der Meinung sind, dass diese Mails hier nicht hingehören.
41 die die Beleidigungen der Grammatiker berichtigen.
109 die in die Liste schreiben, dass diese Liste nicht für Glühbirnen gedacht ist und dass man die Diskussion in alt.glueh.birne weiterführen sollte.
203 die verlangen, dass die Crosspostings nach alt.grammatik, alt.rechtschreibung und alt.zeichensetzung aufhören.
111 die die Mail verteidigen, weil wir alle Glühbirnen benutzen und die Mail daher sehr wohl in diese Liste gehört.
306 die darüber debattieren, welche Glühbirnenwechselmethode überlegen ist, wo man die besten Glühbirnen bekommt, welche Sorte Glühbirnen am besten ist und welche Marken fehlerhaft sind.
27 die URLs posten, wo man Glühbirnen sehen kann.
14 die sagen, dass die vorherigen URLs falsch sind und die richtigen Adressen posten.
3 die Links mailen, die sie in den URLs gefunden haben, die relevant für die Mailingliste sind, was zeigt, dass Glühbirnen auch relevant für die Liste sind.
33 die alle Mails zusammenfassen, komplett zitieren (inklusive Kopf- und Fußzeilen), um darunter zu schreiben: \"Me Too\"
12 die verkünden, dass sie die Mailingliste abbestellen, weil sie diese Glühbirnendiskussion nicht länger ertragen können.
19 die die \"Me Too\"s zitieren, um \"Me Three\" darunter zu setzen.
4 die vorschlagen, dass die Poster sich die Glühbirnen-FAQ durchlesen.
1 der vorschlägt, dass die newsgroup alt.wechseln.glueh.birne eingerichtet wird.
47 die sagen, dass alt.physic.cold_fusion für das Thema vorgesehen ist.
143 die für die Einrichtung von alt.wechseln.glueh.birne stimmen.
27 die einfach nur \'unsubscribe\' von sich geben, da sie nicht kapiert haben, dass sie an den Listserver statt an die Liste schreiben müssen.
42 die maximal grosse Bilder vom Halogen-Birnchen bis zum mannshohen Suchscheinwerfer an die Liste mailen.
78 die sich darüber aufregen.
1 der seit den Bildern Probleme hat, seine Mail abzuholen, da dessen Modem/Festplatte/Rechner da nicht mehr mitspielt.
1 der vorschlägt, man könnte das doch live diskutieren im IRC auf dem Channel #gluehbirnen, und nach Wochen vergeblichen Wartens auf Response aufgibt.
5 die vorschlagen, eine extra Mailingliste aufzumachen für das unerschöpfliche Thema \"Glühbirne\".
35 die dem obigen zustimmen (natürlich auf der Liste).
126 die dagegen sind und das natürlich auch lautstark auf der Liste kundtun.
und 1 der meint, dass die Glühbirne nicht gewechselt werden müsste...
