Dear Technical Support,

18 months ago I upgraded to Girlfriend 1.0 from DrinkingMates 4.2, which I had used for years without any trouble. However, there are apparently conflicts between these two products and the only solution was to try and run Girlfriend 1.0 with the sound turned off.

To make matters worse, Girlfriend 1.0 is incompatible with several other applications, such as LadsNightOut 3.1, Diving 4.5 and PlayBoy 6.9.

Successive versions of Girlfriend proved no better.

I tried a shareware program, Slapper 2.1 but it had many bugs and left a virus in my system forcing me to shut down completely for several weeks.

Eventually, I tried to run Girlfriend 1.2 and Girlfriend 1.0 at the same time, only to discover that when these two systems detected each other they caused severe damage to my hardware.

I eventually upgraded to Fiancee 1.0, only to discover that this product soon had to be upgraded further to Wife 1.0. While Wife 1.0 tends to use up all my available resources it does come with FreeSexPlus and CleanHouse 2005.

Shortly after this upgrade, however, I found that Wife 1.0 could be very unstable and costly to run. Any mistakes I made were automatically stored in Wife 1.0's memory and could not be deleted. They then resurfaced months later when I had forgotten about them.

Wife 1.0 also has an automatic Diary, Explorer and E-mail filter, and can, without warning, launch TurboStrop and MultiWhinge. These latter products have no Help files and I have to try to guess what the problem is.

Additional problems are that Wife 1.0 needs updating regularly, requiring ShoeShop Browser for new attachments and Hairstyle Express which needs to be reinstalled every other week.

Also, when Wife 1.0 attaches itself to my Saab 93 Convertible hard drive, it often crashes.

Wife 1.0 also comes with an irritating pop-up called MotherInLaw, which can't be turned off.

Recently, I've been tempted to install Mistress 2003, but there could be problems. A friend of mine has alerted me to the fact that if Wife 1.0 detects Mistress 2003, it tends to delete all of your Money before uninstalling itself.
 
Cdiver2,
Na you're not the only one - my Dad was in the Dukes many years ago - he was a bit of a joker too :)

You have to be twisted to get in?, or the Dukes make you twisted?
What years was your dad in?
 
To be honest I'm not sure, but something like 1960-1968 - he bought himself out in the end as at the time he wanted to provide some stability for me and my sister. In 1969 we lived in Belfast - we had to move in the end - funny old world innit? :)
