Wife 1.0 Upgrade Problems.

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 apparently conflicts between these two products, and the only solution was to try and run Girlfriend 1.0 with the sound turned off. To make matters worse, Girlfriend 1.0 is incompatible with several other applications, such as Guys Night Out 3.1, Football 3pm, and Playboy 6.9. Successive versions of Girlfriend proved 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 to run 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 soon had to be upgraded to Wife 1.0. While Wife 1.0 tends to use up all available resources, it does come bundled with FreeSex Plus and Cleanhouse 2003.

Shortly after this upgrade, however, I found that Wife 1.0 can 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 WhingeExcel. These latter products have no Help files, and I have to try to guess what the problem is. Additional problems are that Wife 1.0 needs updating regularly, requiring ShoeShop Browser for new attachments and Hairstyle Express which needs to be reinstalled every other week. Wife 1.0 also spawns unwelcome 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 my Audi TT hard drive, it often crashes. Wife 1.0 also comes with a rather annoying pop-up called Mother-in-Law, which cannot be turned off. Recently I've been tempted to install Mistress2003, but there could be problems. A friend of mine has alerted me to the fact that if Wife 1.0 detects Mistress2003, it tends to delete all of your Money files before uninstalling itself.

It reminds me of this one that was passed around several years ago....but worth a repeat:

"A husband and wife went to the doctor together. The doctor called the husband into the room to examine him. After examining him, he called in the wife. He said I'm afraid I have some bad news. Your husband is suffering from a very rare disease. In order for him to live, you would have to do everything for him such as, wait on him hand and foot. You would have to run his bath water, get the news paper for him to read, basically answer to every beck and call. If not he will die. The doctor stated that this will only last for one year.

As they were leaving the doctor's office, the husband asked his wife, so what did the doctor tell you?

The wife, very solemnly said, "You're going to die."

Dude......it's "free ware" until you install it.......then it turns into a blood sucking microsoft sort of thing....constantly wanting your money and giving you very little for it....
