Since this babe has been in such a "Fantastic" mood I'd thought some of
you might get a bang from this computer joke.

The book is coming along Great and it will be a very powerful book to
the world.
The book is now 6,286 pages and 27 megabyte in size. Yahoo!

Last year, I upgraded my GirlFriend 5.0 to GirlFriend 5.1, which
installs itself as "Fiancee 1.0". Recently, I upgraded Fiancee 1.0 to
Wife 1.0 and it's a real memory hog. It has taken up all my space, and
Wife 1.0 must be running before I can do ANYTHING. It is also spawning
Child Processes which are further consuming system resources. 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. Additional plug-ins
were automatically installed, such as Mother-In-Law 55.8, and there is
no uninstall feature for these plug-ins. No mention of these behaviors
was discussed in the brochures or documentation, although other users
have reported similar problems. Because of this, some users that I know
have decided to avoid the headaches associated with these upgrades, and
simply move from Girlfriend 5.0 to Girlfriend 6.0. Unfortunately, this
is not without - More - peril as well, as all traces of Girlfriend 5.0
must be removed from the system before attempting installation of 6.0.
Even then, Girlfriend 6.0 will repeatedly run system checks (usually in
the background, and often late at night when the system is asleep) to
find evidence of previous versions. To cap it off, Girlfriend 6.0
apparently has a nag feature reminding about the advantages of upgrading
to Wife 1.0. However, I do like some of the features that you are
planning to include in the upcoming Girlfriend 6.1 release:
  * A "Don't remind me again" button
  * Minimize button
  * Shutdown feature
  * An install shield feature so that Girlfriend can be completely
uninstalled if necessary (so you don't lose cache and other objects)
Unfortunately, since I've already upgraded to Wife 1.0, I don't think I
will be able to take advantage of any of these new features, unless you
decide to include them in the next Mistress release. But, of - More -
course, there is a whole raft of problems associated with the use of
Mistress 1.0 and Wife 1.0 on the same system -- most notably are system
conflicts and continual disk thrashing, which starts shortly after Wife
1.0 detects Mistress 1.0. Interestingly enough, all versions of Personal
Lawyer still work fine. Finally, Wife 1.0 apparently deletes all
MSMoney files before uninstalling itself; following that, Mistress 1.1
will refuse to install, claiming insufficient resources. I personally
find all these new tools and conflicts to be too confusing and time
consuming. I'm sticking with Dog 1.0b3. It slobbers and chews up the
paper, but all in all these bugs are tolerable. It is simple to operate
and we get along fine.
