Last year, my friend upgraded his GirlFriend3.1 to GirlFriendPlus1.0
(marketing name: Fiancee1.0). Recently he
upgraded Fiancee1.0 to Wife1.0 and it's a memory hog. It has taken all
his space and Wife1.0 must be running
before he can do anything. Although he did not ask for it, Wife1.0 came
with Plug-Ins such as MotherInLaw and
BrotherInLaw.
Some features I'd like to see in the Up-coming GirlFriend4.0...
- A "Don't remind me again" button
- Minimize button
- Shutdown feature
- An install shield feature so that Girlfriend4.0 can be completely
un-installed if so desired (so you don't lose cache
and other objects)
I tried running Girlfriend2.0 with Girlfriend1.0 still installed, they
tried using the same I/O port and conflicted. Then I
tried to uninstall Girlfriend1.0 but it didn't have an uninstall
program. I tried to uninstall it by hand, but it put files in
my system directory. Another thing that sucks in all versions of
Girlfriend that I've used is that it is totally "object
orientated" and only supports hardware with gold contacts.
********* BUG WARNING *********
Wife1.0 has an undocumented bug. If you try to install Mistress1.1
before un-installing Wife1.0, Wife1.0 will delete
MSMoney files before doing the uninstall itself. Then Mistress1.1 will
refuse to install, claiming insufficient
resources.
