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 (O.K. that one's pretty bad - but
had to say it)
- A Remote control for the 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 unistall 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.
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.
