dear tech support, last year, i upgraded from boyfriend 5.0 to husband 1.0, and i noticed a lag in the overall performace, particularly in the flower and jewlery applications that had operated flawlessly in boyfriend 5.0. in addition, husband 1.0 uninstalled many desirable programs, such as romance 9.5 and personal attention 6.5, and installed many undesirable programs such as nfl 5.0 and nba 3.0. also, conversation 8.0 does not function properly and when it does it functions sub-par, 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 in tempe, arizona ------------------------------ dear desperate in tempe, first, keep in mind that boyfriend 5.0 is simply an entertainment package, while husband 1.0 is an operating system. try entering the following command: c:\ i thought you loved me! and then download tears 1.0 to install guilt 3.0. if all works as designed, husband 1.0 should automatically run jewelry 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 beer 6.1. beer 6.1 is a very bad program which can cause abuse 4.3 to run and may create snoring-loudly.wav files. whatever you do, do not install mother-in-law 1.0 or install 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, lingerie 6.4, and black thong 3.0. good luck, tech support ----- i love that. it's hilarious and in most cases true... i think.
