Check below for some answers a friend of mine gave me to the below
questions.
>
> Here are some additional comment about the 'Wife 1.0' software product
> and its accompanying products.
>
> A few questions:
>      1)  Is a tokenring needed to upgrade from "Fiancee' 1.0"?
>      2)  Is there any truth to the rumors that "MSMouse 1.23" will
>             sometimes cause "Wife 1.0" to load on top of "Chair 1.0"?
>      3)  I know that after "Wife 1.0" has ran for a long time, it will
>             spawn several aplets.  Is it true that these aplets will
>             then procede to consume the system resources of their
>             parents processes?
>      4)  I have several friends that say they have trouble turning off
>             the N.A.G. feature on "Wife 1.0".  They want to know if
>             there is a patch that they can plug in to relieve the
>             problem.

>
> 1)  Trust me, the ring required to upgrade to "Fiancee' 1.0" is no mere
> token.
>
> 2)  In my particular application of "Wife 1.0", installation of "MSMouse
> 1.23" causes an automatic uninstall of "Wife 1.0".  (Hmmm, that could come
> in handy sometime.  Of course, the re-installation of "Wife 1.0" could then
> be a problem since the installation of "MSMouse 1.23" is rather difficult to
> uninstall and may spawn numerous other MSMouse processes.)
>
> 3)  I haven't experienced my application of "Wife 1.0" spawning any aplets
> yet.  Some piece of hardware seems to disallow that.  Don't know if it's the
> motherboard or not.  The service department tells me the hardware checked
> out okay, though. Of course, they charged a lot to tell me that.  Maybe I
> should scan for viruses?  I have heard of "Wife 1.0" spawning numerous
> aplets at once, though, in which case just about all system resources are
> consumed.
>
> 4)  I haven't heard of any patches for turning off the N.A.G. feature.
>  "Wife 1.0" seems to try to install this feature automatically and if you
> allow it, then your stuck with it.  The only possibility is either an
> upgrade or a complete uninstall of "Wife 1.0".  I wouldn't recommend this
> though since upgrades and uninstalls of "Wife 1.0" will spawn the virus
> "Lawyer 6.66" (similar to the installation of "Mistress 1.1").  You might
> try installing "MSMouse 1.23" as discussed in (2) above.
