Dear IT Support,
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a
slow down in the overall performance, particularly in the flower and
jewellery applications that had operated flawlessly under Boyfriend
5.0.
In addition, Husband 1.0 un-installed many other valuable programs,
such as Romance 9.5 and Persona Attention 6.5, but installed
undesirable
programs such as Formula One 5.0, NBA 3.0 and World Cup 2.0.
And now Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and House Cleaning 2.6 simply
crashes the system. I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these
problems, but to no avail.
What can I do?
Signed,
Desperate
================================
Reply:
Dear Desperate,
First keep in mind: Boyfriend 5.0 is an entertainment package, while
Husband 1.0 is an operating system. Try entering the command C: I
THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME and download Tears 6.2 to install Guilt 3.0. If
all works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the
applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.
But remember, overuse can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy
Silence 2.5 , Happy Hour 7.0 or Late Night Teh Tarik 6.1. Late Night
6.1 is a very bad program that will create SnoringLoudly.wav files.
Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-Law 1.0 or reinstall another
Boyfriend program. These are not supported applications and will crash
Husband 1.0.
In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have a limited
memory and cannot learn new applications quickly.
You might consider additional software to improve memory and
performance. I personally recommend Hot Food 3.0 and Lingerie 6.9.
Good Luck, :)
IT Support
