Girlfriend 1.0

Last year, my friend upgraded his GirlFriend 3.1 to GirlFriendPlus 1.0 (marketing name: Fiancee 1.0).

Then again he upgraded Fiancee 1.0 to Wife 1.0 this year and as it turns out, he got a memory hogger - it ha taken all his space.

Not only that, Wife 1.0 must be running before he can do anything. Although he did not ask for it. Wife 1.0 came with Plug-Ins such as MotherInLaw and BrotherIn Law.

Learning from his experiences, I'd like to see the following features in my Upcoming GirlFriend 4.0:

• A "Don't remind me again" button.
• Minimize button.
• Shutdown features.
• An install shield feature so that Girlfriend 4.0 can be uninstalled if so desired (so you don't lose cache and other objects).
• "Abort" buttom (O.K. that one's pretty bad - but had to say it).
• A Remote control for these features would be a nice upgrade.

I tried running GirlFriend 2.0 with GirlFriend 1.0 still installed, but 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 uninstall it by hand, but it put files in my system directory.

Another problem with all versions of GirlFriend that I've used is that it is totally object oriented 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.
