Actually, my copy of Wife 1.0 acts as additional memory and, when thesis
work requires, double as an advanced word processor with built in grammar
and spell check...

>Last year, my friend upgraded his GirlFriend 3.1 to GirlFriendPlus 1.0
>(marketing name: Fiancee 1.0). Recently he upgraded Fiancee 1.0 to Wife
>1.0 and it's a memory hogger, it has taken all his space; and Wife 1.0
>must be running before he can do anything. Although he did not ask for
>it, Wife 1.0 came with Plug-Ins such as MotherInLaw and BrotherInLaw.
>
>Some features I'd like to see in the Upcomming GirlFriend 4.0...
>
> - 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 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 unistall
>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 oriented" and only supported hardware with gold
>plated contacts.
>
>***** BUG WARNING ********
>
>Wife 1.0 has an undocumented bug. If you try to install Mistress 1.1
>before uninstalling Wife 1.0, Wife 1.0 will delete MSMoney files before
>doing the uninstall itself. Then Mistress 1.1 will refuse to install,
>claiming insufficient resources.
