Husband Upgrading

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed that the
new program began making unexpected changes to the accounting software,
severely limiting access to wardrobe, flowers and jewel applications that
operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0

No mention of this phenomenon was included in the product brochure. In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalls many other valuable programs such as DinnerDancing 7.5, CruiseShip 2.3 and OperaNight 6.1 and installs new undesirable programs such as PokerNight 1.3, SaturdayFootball 5.0, Golf 2.4 and ClutterEverywhere 4.5. Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and invariably
crashes the system. Under no circumstances will it run DiaperChanging 14.1 or HouseCleaning 2.6. I've tried Nagging 5.3 to fix Husband 1.0, but this all purpose utility is of limited effectiveness. Can you help please!!!
Thank you, Jane


Dear Jane,

This is a very common problem women complain about, but is mostly due to a primary misconception. Many people upgrade from BoyFriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 with no idea that BoyFriend 5.0 is merely an ENTERTAINMENT package. However, Husband 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and was designed by its creator to run as few applications as possible. Further, you cannot purge Husband 1.0 and return to BoyFriend 5.0 because Husband 1.0 is not designed to do this.
Hidden operating files within your system would cause BoyFriend 5.0 to emulate Husband 1.0, so nothing is gained.

It is impossible to uninstall, delete or purge the program files from the system once installed. Any new program files can only be installed once per year as Husband 1.0 has severely limited memory. Error messages are common and a normal part of Husband 1.0. In desperation to play some of their "old time" favorite applications or to get new applications to work, some women have tried to install BoyFriend 6.0 or Husband 2.0. However, these women end up with more problems than encountered with Husband 1.0. Look in your manual
under "Warnings: Divorce/ChildSupport." You will notice that this program runs very poorly and comes bundled with HeartBreak 1.3. I recommend you keep Husband 1.0 and just learn the quirks of this strange and illogical system.

Having Husband 1.0 installed myself, I might also suggest you read the entire section regarding General Partnership Faults (GPFs) This is a wonderful feature of Husband 1.0 secretly installed by the parent company as an integral part of the operating system. Husband 1.0 must assume all responsibility and ALL faults and problems regardless of root cause. To activate this great feature enter the command "C:\ I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME".

Sometime Tears 6.2 must be ran simultaneously while entering the command. Husband 1.0 should then run the applications Apologize 12.3 and Flowers/Chococlates 7.8.
"TECH TIP!'"

Avoid excessive use of this feature. Overuse can create additional and more serious GPFs and ultimately YOU may have to give a C:\>II APOLOGIZE command before the system will return to normal operations. Overuse can also cause Husband 1.0 to default to GrumpySilence 2.5 or worse yet, Beer 6.0. Beer 6.0 is a very bad program that causes Husband 1.0 to create FatBelly files and
Snoring Loudly wave files that are hard to delete. Save yourself some trouble by following this tech tip! Just remember, the system will run smoothly and take the blame for all GPFs, but because of this fine feature it can only intermittently run all applications BoyFriend 5.0 ran. Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. Consider buying additional software to improve performance. I personally recommend HotFood 3.0, Lingerie 5.3 and Patience 10.1. Used in conjunction, these utilities can really help keep Husband1.0
running smoothly. After several years of use Husband 1.0 will become familiar and you will find many valuable embedded features such as FixesBrokenThings 2.1, Snuggling 4.2 and BestFriend 7.6.

A final word of caution DO NOT, under any circumstances, install MotherInLaw 1.0. This is not a supported application and will cause selective shut down of the operating system. Husband 1.0 will run only Fishing 9.4 and Hunting 5.2 until MotherInLaw 1.0 is uninstalled.

I hope these notes have helped. Thank you for choosing to install Husband 1.0 and we here at Tech Support wish you the best of luck incoming years. We trust you will learn to fully enjoy the product!
