Last year, my friend upgraded his GirlFriend3.1 to GirlFriendPlus1.0
(mwithheldeting 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 installshield 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
unstall
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.

***** 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.
