Last year, I upgraded Girlfriend 1.0 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 Pokernight
10.3 and Beerbash 2.5 no longer run, crashing the system
whenever selected. I can not seem to purge Wife 1.0 from my
system. I am thinking about going back to Girlfriend 1.0 but
uninstall does not work on this program. Can you help me?

Dear Jonathan Powell-

This is a very common problem men complain about but is
mostly due to a primary misconception. Many people upgrade from
Girlfriend 1.0 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 impossible to uninstall, delete, or
purge the program from the system once installed. You can
not go back to Girlfriend 1.0 because Wife 1. 0 is not
designed to do this. Some have tried to install Girlfriend
2.0 or Wife 2.0 but end up with more problems than 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 Protection Faults
(GPFs). You must assume all responsibility for faults and
problems that might occur. The best course of action will be
to push apologize button then reset button as soon as lockup
occurs. System will run smooth as long as you take the blame
for all GPFs.

Wife 1.0 is a great program but is very high maintenance.
