Girlfriend
Last year, my friend upgraded his GirlFriend
3.1 to GirlFriendPlus 1.0 (marketing name: Fiancee 1.0). Recently he upgraded
Fiancee 1.0 to Wife 1.0 and it's a memory hogger, it has taken all his
space; and 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 BrotherInLaw.
Some features I'd like to see in the Upcoming
GirlFriend 4.0...
-
A "Don't remind me again" button
-
Minimize button
-
Shutdown feature
-
An install shield feature so that Girlfriend
4.0 can be completely uninstalled if so desired (so you don't lose cache
and other objects)
-
"Abort" button
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.
