MS Girlfriend 2000
Last year, I upgraded my Girlfriend 5.0 to Girlfriend 5.1, which
interestingly installed itself as Fiancée 1.0. Then I upgraded Fiancée 1.0
to Wife 1.0 and find that it's a real memory hog. It has taken up all my
time and space, and Wife 1.0 must be running before I can do ANYTHING.
Wife 1.0 also spawns child processes that further consume system resources.
And, for some reason as yet unidentified, specific applications such as
PokerNight 10.3, BeerBash 2.5 and PubNight 7.0 are no longer able to run in
the system at all. And the icing on the cake - although claimed an
enhancement - is that Wife 1.0 automatically installed additional plug-ins
such as Mother-In-Law 55.8. There is no uninstall feature available for
these plug-ins.
No mention of these behaviors was discussed in the brochures or
documentation, although other users have reported similar problems.
Because of this, some users have decided to avoid the headaches associated
with these upgrades, and simply move from Girlfriend 5.0 to Girlfriend 2000.
Unfortunately, this is not without considerable difficulties as well.  For
example, all traces of Girlfriend 5.0 must be removed from the system before
even attempting the installation of 2000. And even then, once installed,
Girlfriend 2000 repeatedly runs system checks (usually in the background,
and often late at night when the system is asleep) in an attempt to find
evidence of previous versions. To cap it off, Girlfriend 2000 has a nag
feature to remind the user about the great advantages of upgrading to a
version of Wife. However I do like some of the features that are planned for
the upcoming Girlfriend 2000 Service Pack 2 release:
* A "don't remind me again" button
* Minimize button
* Shutdown feature
* An install shield feature so that Girlfriend 2000 can be completely
uninstalled if necessary (so you don't lose cache and other objects).
Unfortunately, since I've already upgraded to Wife 1.0, I don't think I will
be able to take advantage of any of these new features, unless they have
become new enhancements in the next Mistress release. But, of course, there
is a whole different raft of problems associated with the use of Mistress
and Wife 1.0 on the same system, most notably system conflicts and continual
disk thrashing which starts shortly after Wife 1.0 detects the Mistress
installation. Interestingly enough, all versions of Personal Lawyer still
work fine.
Users should also be aware that Wife 1.0 apparently deletes all MS Money
files before uninstalling itself.  Should that occur, Mistress will refuse
to run claiming insufficient resources.
I personally find all these new tools and conflicts to be too confusing and
time consuming, so I'm sticking with Dog 3.2. While it slobbers and chews up
the paper, all in all these bugs are tolerable. It is so simple to operate
and we get along fine.

Grazie! Avevo proprio bisogno di qualcosa di questo genere, stamattina: mi
ha fatto molto bene.

Se vuoi, ho la traduzione "ufficiale" (è una parola grossa, in realtà credo si
tratti semplicemente dell'unica)

 Last year, I upgraded my Girlfriend 5.0 to Girlfriend 5.1, which
pensa che uno ha postato questa barzelletta su it.comp.appl.access e l'hanno
cazziato duramente... la cosa meno cattiva che gli hanno detto e' che la
storiella gira da un anno sui NG..
ci vorrebbe un aggiornamento tipo "Millennium Girlfriend"

> si', grazie, per posta.
E' con orrore che scopro che metà dei miei documenti (tra cui la traduzione di
cui sopra) sono archiviati sotto PAR per risparmiare spazio, e che sempre per
risparmiare spazio ho disinstallato il decompattatore...

rar lo conoscevo, par mi mancava.
archivia solo i file pari ? :):)
se posso aiutarti, fa' sapere.
ciao, a.

Lo usiamo solo io, il tizio che l'ha programmato e un paio di altre persone in
tutto il mondo... credo si chiami Par perchè il creatore si chiama Philipp.
Molto più potente dello Zip, persino più del Cab, ma non ancora ai livelli di
Rar. Comunque, ho già risolto.
