Letter to Tech Support
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 cannot seem to purge Wife1.0 from my system. I
am thinking of going back to Girlfriend 1.0 butuninstall does not work on this
program. Can you help me?

Dear John Smith,
This is a very common problem men complain about, but is mostly due to a
primary misconception. Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 1.0 toWife 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: uninstall, delete, or purge the program
from the system once installed. Trying to uninstall Wife 1.0 can be disastrous.
Doing so may destroy your hard and/or floppy drive. Trying to uninstall
or remove Wife 1.0 will destroy valuable system resources. You cannot 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 wind 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 1NightStand. 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 smoothly 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 of Utilities such
as TLC and FTD. Frequent use of Communicator 5.0
