Three
Engineers
There
are three engineers in a car; an electrical engineer, a chemical engineer and a
Microsoft engineer. Suddenly the car just stops by the side of the road, and the
three engineers look at each other wondering what could be wrong. The electrical
engineer suggests stripping down the electronics of the car and trying to trace
where a fault might have occurred. The chemical engineer, not knowing much
about cars, suggests that maybe the fuel is becoming emulsified and getting
blocked somewhere.
Then, the Microsoft engineer, not knowing much about anything, comes up with a
suggestion, "Why don`t we close all the windows, get out, get back in, open
the windows again, and maybe it`ll work !?"
Girlfriend
Last year, my friend upgraded his GirlFriend 3.1 to GirlFriendPlus1.0
(marketing name: Fiancee1.0).
Recently he upgraded Fiancee1.0 to Wife1.0 and it's a memory hogger, has taken
all his space; and Wife1.0 must be running before he can do anything. Although
he didn't ask for them, 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 Girlfriend4.0 can
be completely uninstalled if so desired (so you don't lose cache and other
objects)
I tried running Girlfriend 2.0 with Girlfriend 1.0 still installed, they tried
using the same I/O port and conflicted. Then I tried to uninstall Girlfriend 1.0
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 orientated" and only supports hardware with gold
plated contacts.
