LAWS OF PHYSICS
GRAND PRIZE WINNER
When a cat is dropped, it always lands on its feet, and when
toast is dropped, it always lands with the buttered side
facing down. I propose to strap buttered toast to the back
of a cat; the two will hover, spinning inches above the
ground. With a giant buttered cat array, a high-speed
monorail could easily link New York with Chicago.

Last year, my friend upgraded his GirlFriend 3.1 to GirlFriendPlus 1.0
(marketing name: Fiancee 1.0). Recently he upgraded Fiancee 1.0 to
Wife 1.0 and it's a memory hogger, it has taken all his space; and
Wife 1.0 must be running before he can do anything. Although he did not
ask for it, Wife 1.0 came with Plug-Ins such as MotherInLaw and
BrotherInLaw.
Some features I'd like to see in the Upcoming GirlFriend 4.0...
- A "Don't remind me again" button
- Minimize button
- Shutdown feature
- An install shield feature so that Girlfriend 4.0 can be completely
uninstalled if so desired (so you don't lose cache and other objects)
- "Abort" button (O.K. that one's pretty bad - but had to say it)
I tried running GirlFriend 2.0 with GirlFriend 1.0 still installed, but
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 problem with all versions of GirlFriend that I've used is that
it is totally object oriented and only supports 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.
