Installing Husband

Dear Tech Support:

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a slow down in the performance of flower and jewellry applications that had operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0

In addition, Husband 1.0 un-installed many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.9, but installed undesirable programs such as NFL 5.0 and NBA 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. What can I do?

[REPLY]

Dear Desperate,

First keep in mind, 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 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 Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0, or Television 6.1. Television 6.1 is a very bad program that will create Loud noises ( WAV files) and does not get deleted.

DO NOT install Mother-In-Law 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 a limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve performance. I personally recommend Hot Food 3.0 and Cheerfulness 2.0.

Good Luck,

Tech Support.

Ah, Salieri

by Ruben on Dec.05, 2004, under Archive

According to this article on Channelnewsasia.com, Antonio Salieri’s music is making a return to the stage.

“The vast refurbishment of Milan’s La Scala opera house will be disclosed Tuesday with the appropriately named work — “Europe Revealed” — with which the house was inaugurated 226 years ago.

“Europe Revealed,” or “Europa Riconosciuta,” is by Antonio Salieri, then court composer in Vienna, the capital of the empire of which Milan formed part and in modern times the villain of Peter Schaeffer’s fantasia about the life and death of Mozart, “Amadeus”. Salieri’s music is now rarely performed and “Europe Revealed” had been dropped completely from La Scala’s repertoire.

Also according to the article, “The reopening is the occasion for a series of special events and exhibitions, including one on the rather thin relationship between Mozart and Salieri, the man much maligned as his killer. ”

I thought that was just in the movie.
