  Last year, my friend upgraded his GirlFriend3.1 to GirlFriendPlus1.0
  (marketing name: Fiancee1.0). Recently he upgraded Fiancee1.0 to Wife1.0
  and it's a memory hogger, it has taken all his space; and Wife1.0 must
  be running before he can do anything. Although he did not ask for it,
  Wife1.0 came with Plug-Ins such as MotherInLaw and BrotherInLaw.
  
  Some features I'd like to see in the Upcomming GirlFriend4.0...
  
  - A "Don't remind me again" button
  
  - Minimize button
  
  - Shutdown feature
  
  - An install shield feature so that Girlfriend4.0 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 unistall
  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 in all versions of girlfriend that I've used is that it
  is totally "object orientated" and only supported 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.

  Having chosen English as the preferred language in the EEC, the
  European Parliament has commissioned a feasibility study in ways of
  improving efficiency in communications between Government departments.
  
  European officials have often pointed out that English spelling is
  unnecessarily difficult - for example, cough, plough, rough, through
  and thorough. What is clearly needed is a phased programme of changes
  to iron out these anomalies. The programme would, of course, be
  administered by a committee staff at top level by participating
  nations.
  
  In the first year, for example, the committee would suggest using 's'
  instead of the soft 'c'. Sertainly, sivil servants in all sities
  would resieve this news with joy. Then the hard 'c' could be replaced
  by 'k' sinse both letters are pronounsed alike. Not only would this
  klear up konfusion in the minds of klerikal workers, but typewriters
  kould be made with one less letter.
  
  There would be growing enthusiasm when in the sekond year, it kould
  be announsed that the troublesome 'ph' would henseforth be written
  'f. This would make words like 'fotograf' twenty per sent shorter in
  print.
  
  In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be
  expekted to reash the stage where more komplikated shanges are
  possible. Governments would enkourage the removal of double letters
  which have always been a deterent to akurate speling.
  
  We would al agre that the horible mes of silent 'e's in the languag
  is disgrasful. Therefor we kould drop thes and kontinu to read and
  writ as though nothing had hapend. By this tim it would be four years
  sins the skem began and peopl would be reseptive to steps sutsh as
  replasing 'th' by 'z'. Perhaps zen ze funktion of 'w' kould be taken
  on by 'v', vitsh is, after al, half a 'e'. Shortly after zis, ze
  unesesary 'o kould be dropd from words kontaining 'ou'. Similar
  arguments vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.
  
  Kontinuing zis proses yer after yer, ve vud eventuli hav a reli sensibl 
  riten styl. After tventi yers zer vud be no mor trubls difikultis and 
  evrivun vud fin it ezi tu understand ech ozer. Ze drems of the Guvermnt 
  vud finali hav kum tru.
