SOFTWARE UPGRADE NOTICE:

     Last year a friend of mine upgraded GirlFriend 6.0 to Wife 1.0
     and found that it's a memory hog leaving very little system
     resources for other applications. He is only now noticing that
     Wife 1.0 also is spawning Child-Processes which are further
     consuming valuable resources.
     No mention of this particular phenomenon was included in the
     product brochure or the documentation, though other users have
     informed him that this is to be expected, due to the nature of the
     application.

     Not only that, Wife 1.0 installs itself such that it is always
     launched at system initialization where it can monitor all other
     system activity.
     He's finding that some applications such as PokerNight 10.3,
     BeerBash 2.5, and PubNight 7.0 are no longer able to run,
     crashing the system when selected (even though they always
     worked fine before). At installation, Wife 1.0 automatically
     installs undesired Plug-Ins such as MotherInLaw 55.8 and
     BrotherInLaw Beta release. As a consequence system
     performance seems to diminish with each passing day.

     Some features he'd like to see in the upcoming Wife 2.0:

          A "Don't remind me again" button;
          A Minimize button;
          An install shield feature that allows Wife 2.0 to be installed
          with the option to uninstall at anytime without the loss of
          cache and other system resources;
          An option to run the network driver in promiscuous mode
          which would allow the systems hardware probe feature to
          have greater use.

     Another friend decided to avoid all the headaches associated
     with Wife 1.0 by sticking with Girlfriend 2.0. Even here,
     however, I found many problems.
     Apparently you cannot install Girlfriend 2.0 on top of Girlfriend
     1.0. You must uninstall Girlfriend 1.0 first. Other users say this is
     a long standing bug which everyone should have been aware.
     Apparently the versions of Girlfriend have conflicts over shared
     use of the I/O port. You'd think they would have fixed such a
     stupid bug by now.
     To make matters worse, the uninstall program for Girlfriend 1.0
     doesn't work very well leaving undesirable traces of the
     application in the system.
     Another annoying problem -- all versions of Girlfriend continually
     pop-up annoying messages about the advantages of upgrading to
     Wife 1.0



     ***** 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 executing a self - uninstallation. Then Mistress 1.1
     will refuse to install, claiming insufficient system resources.



     ***** BUG WORK-AROUNDS *****

     To avoid the above bug, try installing Mistress 1.1 on a different
     system and never run any file transfer applications such as
     Laplink 6.0. Also, beware of similar share-ware applications that
     have been known to carry viruses that may affect Wife 1.0.

     Another solution would be to run Mistress 1.0 via a UseNet
     provider under an anonymous name. Here again, beware of the
     viruses which can accidentally be downloaded from the UseNet.
