Dear Tech Support,
I am writing this letter as a last resort. 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 space and valuable
resources. 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, 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 UN-install does not work on this program. Can you help me,
please!!! Thanks, Joe
Dear Joe:

This is a very common problem that men complain about but it 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 UN-install, 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 just deal with the
situation. Having Wife 1.0 installed 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 the "ESC" key because ultimately you will 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 2.1 and Chocolates 5.0.
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
