Last year, my friend upgraded his GirlFriend3.1 to GirlfriendPlus1.0 (marketing name: Fiancee1.0). Recently he upgraded Fiancee1.0 to Wife1.0 and it’s a memory hogger; it has taken all his space. Wife1.0 must be running before he can do anything. Although he did not ask for it, Wife1.0 came with Plug-ins such as MotherInLaw and BrotherInLaw.

Some features I’d like to see in the Upcoming GirlFriend4.0...

-A”Don’t remind me again” button

-Minimize button

-Shutdown feature

-An install shield feature so that GirlFriend 4.0 can be completely uninstalled if so desired (so you don’t lose cache, free space, and other objects)

I tried running GirlFriend2.0 with GirlFriend1.0 still installed. They tried using the same I/O port and conflicted. Then I tried to uninstall GirlFriend1.0 but it didn’t have an uninstall program. I tried to uninstall it by hand, but it put files in my system directory. Another thing that sucks in all versions of GirlFriend that I’ve used is that it is totally “object oriented” and only supported hardware with gold plated contacts.

*****BUG WARNING*****

Wife1.0 has an undocumented bug. If you try to install Mistress1.1 before uninstalling Wife1.0, Wife1.0 will delete MSMoney files before doing the uninstall itself. Then Mistress1.1 will refuse to install, claiming insufficient resources.

Surely there should be more:

FUTURE RELEASE:

Just wait until you install MSParent0.1! It comes without a help file. It not only deletes MSMoney files, it also removes all memory and automatically takes over the sound card so you can’t sleep either. (Note: Sorry, it is a draft release which means that nothing is predictable and that no rules apply.)

The current version is MSBaby1.0. Another friend of mine installed MSBaby1.0. Now MSWife will not interface at a low level. Also, MSBaby has high level interrupts, which results in thrashing. Now nothing gets done, and there is no uninstaller available. MSWife now requires upgrade MSBaby2.0 to function properly.
