A boyfriend upgrade

A boyfriend upgrade

Last year, my friend upgraded her BoyFriend 3.1 to BoyFriendPlus 1.0
(marketing name: Fiancee 1.0).
Recently she upgraded Fiancee 1.0 to Husband 1.0 and it'sa memory hogger, has taken all her space; and Husband 1.0 must be running before she can do anything. Although she didn't ask for them -
Husband 1.0 with plug-ins such as: MotherInLaw and SisterInLaw.

Some features I'd like to see in the upcoming BoyFriend 4.0...A "Remind him again" button, a Maximize button!, Shutdown feature, and an install shield feature so that BoyFriend 4.0 can be completely uninstalled if so desired (so you don't lose cache and other objects).

I tried running Boyfriend 2.0 with Boyfriend 1.0 still installed. They tried using the same I/O port and conflicted. Then, I tried to uninstall Boyfriend 1.0, but it didn't have an uninstall program. I tried to uninstall it by hand, but it had put files in my system directory.

And another thing ... all versions of Boyfriend that I've used are totally "object oriented" and only support hardware with gold plated contacts.

********BUG WARNING*******ALERT***********

Husband 1.0 has an undocumented bug. If you try to install Lover 1.1 before uninstalling Husband 1.0, Husband 1.0 will delete MSMoney files before doing the uninstall itself. Then, Lover 1.1 will refuse to install, claiming insufficient resources.
