Dear Organlearners,

Greetings to you all.

I enjoyed the following very much.

Finally - an IT department that gets it right!!

Dear Help Desk,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed that
the new program began making unexpected changes to the accounting modules,
limiting access to flower and jewellery applications that had operated
flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0. In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many
other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.9 but installed undesirable
programs such as SOCCER 5.0 and CRICKET 3.0. Conversation 8.0 no longer
runs and HouseCleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.

I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.

Please help!

Dear Desperate,

Please keep in mind that Boyfriend 5.0 is an entertainment package, while
Husband 1.0 is an operating system. Try to enter the command:

C:/I-THOUGHT-YOU-LOVED-ME and then install Tears 6.2. Husband 1.0 should
then automatically run the applications: Guilty 3.0 and Flowers 7.0. but
remember, overuse can cause Husband 1.0 to default to GrumpySilence 2.5,
HappyHour 7.0 or Beer 6.1. Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will create
"Snoring Loudly" WAV sound files.

DO NOT install MotherInLaw 1.0 or reinstall another Boyfriend program.
These are not supported applications and will crash Husband 1.0. In
summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory
and cannot learn new applications quickly. Consider buying additional
software to improve performance. I personally recommend HotFood 3.0 and
Lingerie 5.3.
