for the technically gifted

hello dear readers,

ma friend has written the undernoted. does anyone have any ideas?

dear technical support,

18 months ago, i upgraded to Girlfriend 1.0 from drinking mates 4.2, which i had used for years without any trouble. However, there are apparantely conflicts between these two products and the only solution was to try and run Girlfriend 1.0 with the sound off.

To make matters worse, Girlfriend 1.0 is incompatible with several other applications, such as Lads Night Out 3.1., Football 4.5., and Playboy 6.9. Succesive versions of Girlfriend prove no better.

A shareware program Party Girl 2.1, which i tried, had many bugs and left a virus in my system, forcing me to shut down completely for several weeks.

Eventually, i tried Girlfriend 1.2 and Girlfriend 1.0 at the same time, only to discover that when these two systems detected each other, they caused severe damage to my hardware.

I then upgraded to Fiancee 1.0, only to discover that this product had to be upgraded to Wife 1.0.

While Wife 1.0 tends to use up my available resources, it comes bundled with Freesex plus and Cleanhouse 2002.

Shortly after this upgrade, however, I found that Wife 1.0 could be very unstable and costly to run. Any mistakes i made were automatically stored in Wife 1.0's memory and could not be deleted. They then resurfaced months later when i had forgotten about them.

Wife 1.0 also has an automatic diary, Explorer and E-mail Filter, and can without warning, Launch Turbostrop and Whinge. These latter products have no help files, and i have to guess what the problem is.

Additional problems are that Wife 1.0 needs updating regularly, requiring ShoeShop Browser for the new attachments and Hairstyle Express whcih needs to be re-installed every other week. Wife 1.0 also spawns child processes that drain my resources. These conflict with some of the new games I wanted to try-out, warning me that they are an illegal operation.

Also when Wife 1.0 attaches itself to Audi TT hard drive, it often crashes. Wife 1.0 also comes with a rather annoying pop-up called Mother-in-Law, which cant be turned off.

Recently, I've been tempted to install Mistress 2003, but there could be problems. A friend of mine alerted me to the fact that if Wife 1.0 detects Mistress 2003, it tends to delete all of your Money files before uninstalling itself.

Any ideas?
