Upgrading Girlfriend 1.0 to Wife 1.0

Note: I was sent this e-mail recently and thought you might get a kick out of it as
much as I did! - John
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?

Dear Jonathan Powell-
This is a very common problem men complain about but is mostly due to primary
misconception. Many people
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.
WARNING DO NOT TRY TO: un-install, delete, or purge the program from the system once
installed.
Trying to un-install Wife 1.0 can be disastrous. Doing so may destroy your hard and/or
floppy drive.
Trying to un-install or remove Wife 1.0 will destroy valuable system resources. 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
the original system.
Look in your manual under Warnings-Alimony/Child Support. Others have tried to run
Girlfriend 1.0 in the
background, while Wife 1.0 is running. Eventually Wife 1.0 detects Girlfriend 1.0 and a
system conflict occurs,
this can lead to a non-recoverable system crash.
Some users have tried to download similar products such as Fling and 1NiteStand. Often
their systems have
become infected with a virus. 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.
Suggestions for improved operation of Wife 1.0
* Monthly, use utilities such as TLC and FTD
* Frequently use Communicator 5.0
