Update girlfriend 1.0 to wife 1.0

Last year a friend of mine upgraded GirlFriend 1.0 to Wife 1.0 and
found that it's a memory hog leaving very little system resources for
other applications. He is only now noticing that Wife 1.0 also is
spawning Child Processes which are further consuming valuable
resources.

No mention of this particular phenomena was included in the product
brochure or the documentation, though other users have informed him
that this is to be expected due to the nature of the application.

Not only that, Wife 1.0 installs itself such that it is always
launched at system initialization where it can monitor all other
system activity.  

He's finding that some applications such as PokerNight 10.3, BeerBash
2.5 and PubNight 7.0 are no longer able to run in the system at all,
crashing the system when selected (even though they always worked fine
before).

At installation, Wife 1.0 provides no option as to the installation of
undesired Plug-Ins such as MotherInLaw 55.8 and BrotherInLaw Beta
Release.  

Also, system performance seems to diminish with each passing day.

Some features he'd like to see in the upcoming Wife 2.0:

A "don't remind me again" button,

A minimize button,

An install shield feature that allows Wife 2.0 be installed with the
option to uninstall at any time without the loss of cache and other
system resources,

An option to run the network driver in promiscuous mode which would
allow the system hardware probe feature to be much more useful.

I myself decided to avoid all of the headaches associated with Wife
1.0 by sticking with GirlFriend 2.0. Even here, however, I found many
problems.   

Apparently you cannot install GirlFriend 2.0 on top of GirlFriend 1.0.

You must uninstall GirlFriend 1.0 first. Other users say this is a
long standing bug which I should have been aware of.

Apparently the versions of GirlFriend have conflicts over shared use
of the I/O port.

You think they would have fixed such a stupid bug by now. 

To make matters worse, the uninstall program for GirlFriend 1.0
doesn't work very well leaving undesirable traces of the application
in the system.  

Another thing that is very irritating: all versions of GirlFriend
continually popup little annoying messages about the advantages of
upgrading to Wife 1.0. You can in no way cancel these messages, you
have to accept them.   


Last Bug Report

Wife 1.0 has an undocumented feature (=bug): if you try to install
Mistress 1.1 before uninstalling Wife 1.0, Wife 1.0 will destroy
valuable financial files, before uninstalling itself.

Then Mistress 1.1 will refuse to install, claiming insufficient
resources.

Be aware that, if you try running Mistress 1.1 (or any similar
shareware application for that matter) on someone else's system, Wife
1.0 on your system may still show the behaviour described above, due
to viruses you may transport from one system to the other
