Dear Tech Support

I found this on a message board and thought it was funny. -Steve

Dear Tech Support,

Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 and noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of new space, valuable resources and monetary funds. No mention of this phenomenon was included in the product brochure.

In addition, Wife 1.0 installs itself into all other programs and launches during system initialization, where it monitors all other system activity. Applications such as Poker Night 10.3, Drunken Boys Night 2.5 and Saturday Football 5.0 no longer run, crashing the system whenever selected.

I cannot seem to keep wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run some of my other favorite applications. I am thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7.0, but the uninstall does not work on this program.

Can you please help me!!!???

Thanks,
A Troubled User

Dear Troubled User,

This is a very common problem men complain about, but is mostly due to a primary misconception. Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 with the idea that Wife 1.0 is merely a UTILITIES & ENTERTAINMENT program. Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and designed by its creator to run everything.

It is unlikely you would be able to purge Wife 1.0 and still convert back to Girlfriend 7.0. Hidden operating files within your system would cause Girlfriend 7.0 to emulate Wife 1.0 so nothing is gained. It is impossible to uninstall, delete, or purge the program files from the system once installed. You cannot go back to Girlfriend 7.0 because Wife 1.0 is not designed to do this.

Some have tried to install Girlfriend 8.0 or Wife 2.0 but end up with more problems than the original system. Look in your manual under “Warnings- Alimony! /Child support!”. I recommend you keep Wife 1.0 and deal with the situation.

I suggest installing background application program C:\YESDEAR to alleviate software augmentation. Having installed Wife1.0 myself, I might also suggest you read the entire section regarding General Partnership Faults (GPFs). You must assume all responsibility for faults and problems that might occur, regardless of their cause. The best course of action will be to enter the command C:\APOLOGIZE. In any case avoid excessive use of C:\YES DEAR because ultimately you may have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the operating system will return to normal. The system will run smoothly as long as you take the blame for all the GPFs.

Wife 1.0 is a great program, but very high-maintenance. Consider buying additional software to improve the performance of Wife 1.0. I recommend Flowers 3.1 and nothing less than Diamonds 2K. Do not, under any circumstances install Secretary with Short Skirt 3.3. This is not a supported application for Wife 1.0 and is likely to cause irreversible damage to the operating system.

Best of Luck,
Tech Support

Curiosity killed the cat!

Ok, I had to see what this myspace thing was all about. So I did what I thought I would never do, and signed up for myspace. Like I have more time to keep up on these type of things. But, I began to think that this would be a great place to meet our listeners and for our listeners to meet each other. So please have a look and add yourself as a friend of the show.

Thanks,

Steve

Update on Steve

Hello Family and Friends,
I wanted to update you on Steve condition following his surgery on Friday 12/09. The fusion went well and the Dr. is very happy with the results.The pain in his back is almost gone but, Steve has had a problem with his legs following the surgery and is still in the hospital. The operation was 6 hours long and they think that the muscles in his thighs developed deep bruises or there is a little nerve damage from laying on his thighs for so many hours. Walking is painful and difficult but, he is working on getting better every day. We hope he will come home this next week. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. Dawn


Hi All

Just wanted to let you all know I am still breathing. I am in a lot of pain and will most likely not be doing a podcast this week. However, I want to say thank you for all your prayers and support.

Thanks again,

Steve


Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
