Instruction Manual

Almost with everything bought esp. electrical appliances, mobile phones comes with a little booklet. Yes, it is the instruction manual or also known as the Owner's manual. Let's be honest with ourselves, often we are so fascinated by the gadgets we just got and chuck the lengthy pages of words away or even being oblivious of it's presence. We never want to consult the manual even if the need arises, we would rather pick up the phone to call your peers or the helpdesk when it is only a small matter and the solutions are all inside the booklet. The booklet is often used as a last ditch attempt to resolve the problem. Recently i received an email which clearly illustrate what i meant. Use the Owner's Manual before the gadget OWNS you.

Subject: FW: UPGRADE girlfriend to wife
Date: Wed, 7 Nov 2007 11:47:55 +0800

Dear Tech Support:

Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0. I soon noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources.

In addition, Wife 1.0 installed itself into all other programs and now monitors all other system activity. Applications such as Poker Night 10.3 , Football 5.0 , Hunting and Fishing 7.5 , and Racing 3.6.

I can't seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run my favorite applications.

I'm thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7.0 , but the uninstall doesn't work on
Wife 1.0 . Please help!

Thanks,Troubled User….

Dear Troubled User:

This is a very common problem that men complain about.

Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0, thinking that it is just a Utilities and Entertainment program. Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and is designed by its Creator to run EVERYTHING !!!

It is also impossible to delete Wife 1.0 and to return to Girlfriend 7.0 . It is impossible to uninstall, or purge the program files from the system once installed.
You cannot go back to Girlfriend 7.0 because Wife 1.0 is designed to not allow this. Look in your Wife 1.0 manual under Warnings-Alimony/Child Support .
I recommend that you keep Wife 1.0 and work on improving the situation. I suggest installing the background application "Yes Dear" to alleviate software augmentation.

The best course of action is to enter the command C:\APOLOGIZE! because ultimately you will have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the system will return to normal anyway.

Wife 1.0 is a great program, but it tends to be very high maintenance. Wife 1.0 comes with several support programs, such as Clean and Sweep 3.0 , Cook It 1.5 ! and Do Bills 4.2.

However, be very careful how you use these programs. Improper use will cause the system to launch the program Nag Nag 9.5. Once this happens, the only way to improve the performance of Wife 1.0 is to purchase additional software. I recommend Flowers 2.1 and Diamonds 5.0!

WARNING!!! DO NOT, under any circumstances, install Secretary With Short Skirt 3.3. This application is not supported by Wife 1.0 and will cause irreversible damage to the operating system!

Best of luck, Tech Support

So ladies, this would be one of the many loopholes that you could exploit on and to the gentlemen, always read through the manual and warnings/advisory before making the final purchase.
