Dear Tech Support:
Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend version 7.0 to Wife version 1.0. I soon noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources. In addition , Wife 1.0 installed itself into all other programs and now monitors all other system activity. Applications such as Poker Night 10.3 , Football 5.0 , Hunting and Fishing 7.5, and Racing 3.6
I can't seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run my favorite applications. I'm thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7.0 , but the uninstall doesn't work on Wife 1.0. Please help!
Thanks,
A Troubled User.

Dear Troubled User:
This is a very common problem that men complain about.
Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0, thinking that it is just a Utilities and Entertainment program. Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM..
You cannot go back to Girlfriend 7.0 because Wife 1.0 is designed to not allow this. Look in your Wife 1.0 manual under Warnings-Alimony-Child Support. I recommend that you keep Wife 1.0 and work on improving the situation. I suggest installing the background application "Yes Dear" to alleviate software augmentation.
The best course of action is to enter the command C:\APOLOGIZE because ultimately you will have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the system will return to normal anyway.
Wife 1.0 is a great program, but it tends to be very high maintenance . Wife 1.0 comes with several support programs, such as Clean and Sweep 3.0 , Cook It 1.5 and Do Bills 4.2.
However, be very careful how you use these programs . Improper use will cause the system to launch the program Nag Nag 9.5. Once this happens, the only way to improve the performance of Wife 1.0 is to purchase additional software. I recommend Flowers 2.1 and Diamonds 5.0 !
WARNING!!! DO NOT , under any circumstances, install Secretary With Short Skirt 3.3. This application is not supported by Wife 1.0 and will cause irreversible damage to the operating system.
Best of luck,

I don't want to rain on your parade, but Wife 1.0 was showing up on Unix bulletin boards about 25 years ago...

But I doubt all the members of this board were reading unix bulletin boards 25 years ago.
That's cute...
It's not completely accurate though-- I've been running Nag Nag 9.5 for ages, and I didn't need to be upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 or anything.
Nag Nag, irrespective of version, is a fully stand-alone program, independent of operating system or other applications. Though not essential, its is embedded deeply within the kernel and cannot be removed; even given diligent prudent practice, it will self-invoke at the most unexpected, inconvenient times. At best, its effects may be minimized through the immediate launching of applications such as Gift 3.0, Nice Restaurant 5.3.01, and/or Romantic Weekend GetAway 6.5 or higher versions of the preceeding, though at some additional cost to system resources. Its not a bug, its a feature.
