Subject:  Computer Geek and women
Importance:  High

Last year a friend of mine upgraded from GirlFriend 1.0 to Wife 1.0
and found that it's a memory hog, leaving very little system resources
available for other applications.

He is now noticing that Wife 1.0 is also 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 PokerNight 10.3, BeerBash
2.5, and PubNight 7.0 are no longer able to run in the system at all,
crashing the system when selected (even though they always worked fine
before). During installation, Wife 1.0 provides no option as to the
installation of undesired Plug-Ins such as MotherInLaw 55.8 and
BrotherInLaw Beta release. Also, 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.
- - - An option to run the network driver in promiscuous mode, which
      would allow the systems hardware probe feature to be much 
      more useful.

I myself decided to avoid 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 that I should have known about. Apparently the
versions of Girlfriend have conflicts over shared use of the I/O port.
You'd 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 thing  -- all versions of Girlfriend continually pop up little
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 doing the uninstall itself. Then Mistress 1.1 will refuse to
install, claiming insufficient resources.
