I've been trawling through a few things I wrote some time ago and I thought this might amuse.


HELP!

I have been trying to install Husband Version 1.0 for some time now and I keep experiencing difficulties. I have, in the past, run Boyfriend Versions 1.0 to 6.0, but every time I attempt the upgrade to Husband all the system discs shut down and I have to use a different version of Boyfriend to get everything working again.

I had also been experiencing a few problems with Boyfriend Versions 2.0 to 6.0 prior to the attempt to upgrade. The programs work perfectly as soon as installed but I have noticed that over a period of a few months the programs cease to function normally. After installation the systems probe tool is constantly active, however, after a couple of months of frequent use it slows down. I have also noticed that when functions are requested the error message ‘do it yourself’ comes up on screen.

I realise now that my mistake was to attempt to upgrade Boyfriend Version 1.0. This program was the simplest version but it did seem to operate normally for a longer period than any of the others. After that I didn’t really notice any obvious differences between the upgrades.

I have heard that there is a New Man Version 1.0 on the market but I have yet to see any evidence of it myself. Apparently, its primary functions are to clean the hard disc and prepare the computer for Babies Versions 1.0 to 2.0. I believe that a prototype was tested but it kept malfunctioning and reverting to Boyfriend Version 3.2.

I have had a little bit more success with Friend Versions 1.0 to 10.0. All versions run quite smoothly alongside each other and only become a problem when my girlfriends decide to use them and convert them to any of the Boyfriend programs. At this point they erase themselves from my computer and even when my girlfriends have tired of them they are difficult to reinstall.
