From the February 1997 issue of the I/O Port Newsletter

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 and it 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 installshield 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, but 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 problem I've had, with all versions of GirfFriend, is that it's totally "object orientated" and only supports 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 insufficent resources.
