Kitty,
By way of a bit of balance
...
Dear Technical Support,
18 months ago, I upgraded to Girlfriend 1.0 from DrinkingMates 4.2, which I had used for years without any trouble. However, there are apparently conflicts between these two products and the only solution was to try and run Girlfriend 1.0 with the sound turned off.
To make matters worse, Girlfriend 1.0 is incompatible with several other applications, such as LadsNightOut 3.1, Football 4.5, and Playboy 6.9. Successive versions of GirlFriend proved no better.
I tried a shareware program, Slapper 2.1, but it had many bugs and left a
virus in my system, forcing me to shut down completely for several weeks.
Eventually, I tried to run GirlFriend 1.2 and Girlfriend 1.0 at the same time, only to discover that when these two systems detected each other they caused severe damage to my hardware.
I eventually upgraded to Fianc!e 1.0, only to discover that this product soon had to be upgraded further to Wife 1.0. While Wife 1.0 tends to use up all my available resources, it does come bundled with FreeSexPlus and Cleanhouse2005.
Shortly after this upgrade, however, I found that Wife 1.0 could be very unstable and costly to run. Any mistakes I made were automatically stored in Wife 1.0's memory and could not be deleted. They then resurfaced months later when I had forgotten about them. Wife 1.0 also has an automatic Diary, Explorer and E-mail filter, and can, without warning, launch TurboStrop and Multi-Whinge. These latter products have no Help files, and I have to try to guess what the problem is.
Additional problems are that Wife 1.0 needs updating regularly, requiring
ShoeShop Browser for new attachments and Hairstyle Express which needs to be reinstalled every other week. Also, when Wife 1.0 attaches itself to my Saab 93 Convertible hard drive, it often crashes.
Wife 1.0 also comes with an irritating pop-up called MotherInLaw, which
can't be turned off.
Recently I've been tempted to install Mistress 2005, but there could be
problems. A friend of mine has alerted me to the fact that if Wife 1.0
detects Mistress 2005, it tends to delete all of your Money before
uninstalling itself.
I think you'll find that Wife 1.0 runs best when you install Carribean Holiday 2006 - but beware if you do install CH 2006, within six months you'll have to install New Kitchen 2007 or New York Shopping Trip, Platinum Edition.
Be careful with the FreeSexPlus bundle, or else before long, you could end up infected with "Kids 1.0", "kids 2.0", and even "kids 3.0"!
The trouble with viruses of the "kids" variety is that you can't get rid of them, theyre there to stay! They result in significant demands on your system, which are very costly to satisfy.
You can however, install "Divorce 1.0", however, this package is costly and results in significant hardware (and therefore monetary) loss.
Even more effective, is "Scarper 9.81", However, this can result in very significant hardware damage if not executed correctly.
Remeber that Kids.x is not the end of the matter. After a short period there will be a severe resource loss in Money.1 and not long after trojans will start to appear.
At first trojans may be cleaned out using House Keeper 1 but eventually some trojans will become permanently installed. These trojans often prevent installations of child programs such as Engagement but remain in memory for a long time.
