> 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. There was no mention of this
> phenomenon on the product's website or on its packaging at the
> time of purchase. In addition, Wife 1.0 has installed itself into all
> my other programs, launching during system initialization and
> causing it to monitor all my other system activity.
>
> Applications such as Pokernight 4.5 and Beerbash 2.2.1 no longer
> run, crashing the system whenever selected. I can not seem to
> purge Wife 1.0 from my system. I really enjoyed playing with
> Girlfriend 1.0 and I thought that upgrading would result in even
> greater enjoyment of the program. Now I am thinking about going
> back to Girlfriend 1.0 but un-install does not work. Can you help
> me?

> Dear Sir-
> This is a very common problem men complain about but it is
> mostly due to the end user's product misconception. Wife 1.0 is a
> great product but it is very high maintenance. Many men upgrade
> from Girlfriend 1.0 to Wife 1.0 with the idea that Wife 1.0 is a
> UTILITIES & ENTERTAINMENT program. In actuality, Wife 1.0 is
> an OPERATING SYSTEM and was designed by its creator to run
> everything. It is impossible to un-install, delete, or purge the
> program from the system once installed. You can not go back to
> Girlfriend 1.0 any more than you can go back to a 386 and DOS.
> Some have tried to override the system by installing Girlfriend 2.0
> or Wife 2.0, but they inevitably end up with greater problems than
> the ones they were trying to cure. (Look in your manual under
> Warnings - Alimony / Child Support/Garnished Earnings).
>
> Having inadvertently installed Wife 1.0 myself some time ago, I
> recommend that you do what most users do, which is to keep Wife
> 1.0   and just deal with the situation. I also suggest that you read
> the entire manual section on General Protection Faults (GPFs).
> Basically, it tells you that you must assume all responsibility for
> faults and problems that might occur.
>
> In most situations, the best course of action is to push Shift-
> Apologize-Reset as soon as lock-up occurs. Generally, the
> system will run smoothly for continued periods of time as long as
> you take the blame for all GPFs.
