G'day All,

Last year, my friend upgraded his GirlFriend 3.1 to GirlFriend
Plus 1.0 (marketing name: Fiancee 1.0).

Recently he upgraded Fiancee 1.0 to Wife 1.0 and it's a memory hogger,
has taken all his space; and Wife 1.0 must be running before he can do
anything.  Although he didn't ask for them, 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)

I tried running Girlfriend 2.0 with Girlfriend 1.0 still installed, they
tried using the same I/O port and conflicted.  Then I tried to uninstall
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 thing that sucks -- all versions of Girlfriend that I've used are
"object oriented" and only support hardware with gold-plated contacts.

*****  BUG WARNING  ********
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.


Cheers,
Gaelyne
