My  friend is having trouble with his system. Last year he upgraded to
Girlfriend 1.0 from DrinkingMates 4.2, which he'd used for years without
trouble. However conflicts between these two systems soon became apparent,
the only solution was to try and run Girlfriend with the sound turned off
(a setting nigh on impossible to achieve).

But to make matters worse Girlfriend 1.0 is incompatible with several other
applications such as; Lads Night Out 3.1, Golf 2, Playboy 6.0 and Peace and
Quiet 2.5. Successive versions of Girlfriend proved no better,

Girlfriend 3.0 has many bugs and left a virus in his system forcing him to
shut down completely for several weeks. Eventually he tried installing
Girlfriend 2.1 as well as Girlfriend 1.0 only to discover that when these
two systems detected each other they caused severe damage to his hardware.

Sensing a way out, he upgraded to Fiancee 1.0 only to discover to his
dismay that this system requires rapid upgrade to Wife 1.0. However, whilst
Wife 1.0 uses up all available rresources it does come bundled with
FreeSexPlus and Cleanhouse 2000.

But imagine my friends disappointment on discovering Wife 1.0 can be
unstable and costly to maintain. Any mistakes he makes are automatically
stored in Wife 1.0 datafiles and cannot be deleted - they then re-surface
months later. Wife 1.0 also has an automatic InterDiary Explorer and e-mail
porn filter.

Wife 1.0 also automatically runs PhotoStrop and WingeZip and no option on
the help menu seems to work, leaving him to try and GUESS the fault
himself.

The system footprint needs updating regularly requiring Shoeshop browser
pro for new attachments. Hairstyle Express needs to be reinstalled every
week.

Wife 1.0 also refused some of the new games and attachments he wanted to
try, stating they are an illegal operation.

When Wife 1.0 attaches itself to Lotus Car 1.0 it often crashes or runs the
system dry. Wife 1.0 also has a rather annoying pop up called
Mother-in-Law, which cant be turned off.

Recently he's been tempted to try Mistress 2000 add-on, but there could be
problems. If Wife 1.0 detects the presence of Mistress 2000, it will delete
all MS Money files before uninstalling itself.

Is this a common problem???
