 To whom it may concern in Technical Support:
 
 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, flower and jewelry 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:
 Dinner Dancing 7.5, Cruise Ship 2.3, and Opera Night 6.1 and installs new,
 undesirable programs such as Poker Night 1.3, Saturday Football 5.0, Golf
 2.4 and Clutter Everywhere 4.5.
 
 Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and invariably crashes the system.  Under
 no circumstances will it run Diaper Changing 14.1 or House Cleaning 2.6.
 I've tried running Nagging 5.3, to fix Husband 1.0, but this all purpose
 utility is of limited effectiveness.
 
 Can you help, please!!!!????
 
 Signed,

 Dear Jane:
 
 This is a very common problem women complain about, but it 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/Child Support." You will notice
 that this program runs very poorly, and comes bundled with Heart Break 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 for ALL faults and problems, regardless of root cause.
 
 To activate this great feature enter the command: "C:\ I THOUGHT YOU LOVED
 ME".  Sometimes Tears 6.2 must be run simultaneously while entering the
 command. Husband 1.0 should then run the applications Apologize 12.3 and
 Flowers/Chocolates 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:\ I APOLOGIZE command
 before the system will return to normal operations. Overuse can also cause
 Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, or worse yet, to Beer 6.0.
 
 Beer 6.0 is a very bad program that causes Husband 1.0 to create Fat Belly
 files and Snoring Loudly wave files that are very 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 the 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: Hot Food 3.0, Lingerie 5.3 and Patience 10.1. Used in
 conjunction, these utilities can really help keep Husband 1.0 running
 smoothly.  After several years of use, Husband 1.0 will become familiar and
 you will find many valuable embedded features such as: FixBrokenThings 2.1,
 Snuggling 4.2 and Best Friend 7.6.
 
 
 A final word of caution!
 Do NOT, under any circumstances, install Mother-in-Law 1.0. This is not a
 supported application, and will cause selective shutdown of the operating
 system. Husband 1.0 will run only Fishing 9.4 and Hunting 5.2 until
 Mother-in-Law 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 in coming years.
 We trust you will learn to fully enjoy this product!
