Girlfriend 7.0 vs Wife 1.0
I got following by e-mail from a friend. Had to smile.
Dear Technical Support,
Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0. I soon noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources.
In addition, Wife 1.0 installed itself into all other programs and now monitors all other system activity. Applications such as Poker Night 10.3, Football 5.0 , Goingtothepub 7.5 , and Softball 3.6.
I can't seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run my favorite applications. I'm thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7.0 , but the uninstall doesn't work on Wife 1.0 .. Please help!
Thanks,
Troubled User.....

Dear Troubled User:
This is a very common problem that men complain about.
Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0, thinking that it is just a Utilities and Entertainment program. Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and is designed by its Creator to run EVERYTHING!!! It is also impossible to delete Wife 1.0 and to return to Girlfriend 7.0 . It is impossible to uninstall, or purge the program files from the system once installed.
You cannot go back to Girlfriend 7.0 because Wife 1.0 is designed to not allow this. Look in your Wife 1.0 manual under Warnings-Alimony/ Child Support . I recommend that you keep Wife 1.0 and work on improving the situation. I suggest installing the background application "Yes Dear" to alleviate software augmentation.
The best course of action is to enter the command C:\APOLOGIZE! because ultimately you will have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the system will return to normal anyway.
Wife 1.0 is a great program, but it tends to be very high maintenance . Wife 1.0 comes with several support programs, such as Clean and Sweep 3.0 , Cook It 1.5 and Do Bills 4.2 .
However, be very careful how you use these programs. Improper use will cause the system to launch the program Nag Nag 9.5 . Once this happens, the only way to improve the performance of Wife 1.0 is to purchase additional software. I recommend Flowers 2.1 and Diamonds 5.0 !
WARNING!!! DO NOT, under any circumstances, install Secretary With Short Skirt 3.3 . This application is not supported by Wife 1.0 and will cause irreversible damage to the operating system!
Best of luck,
Tech Support

I love books. I love to have books around me. Especially in a library with those stairs rolling alongside the books. With this design, which I think is brilliant, you don't need stairs anymore. The bookshelves are the stairs. My compliments.

Kubuntu
I myself work on an Imac, the most sexy computer at the moment.
A lot of my friends who work on a pc are complaining about Windows Vista. They even go to buy a new computer and ask if it's possible to buy the computer with Windows XP on it. No, not possible anymore.
Why don't everybody use Kubuntu? Linux based. And more important, it works.
My brother wanted to buy the small Asus laptop, in a shop he asked the sales person to get it with Windows XP, and ofcourse this wasn't possible. He could get the same laptop cheaper though, with Linux on it.
My brother was totally stressed out by Vista so he bought the one with the Linux system, a bit afraid because he's a total nitwit with computers. He called me very enthousiastically, telling me one thing: 'Sylvana, it works!!!!!!'

I wander how many people exactly knew what happened in Switzerland. Everybody was talking about a long tube, protons coliding & black holes. Even kids were afraid.
Why didn't the media show this one on television. Modern Science.
