		<description>This is an oldie but it just recrossed my desk the other day and I think it is an appropriate sendup of this article.

&lt;strong&gt;INSTALLING A HUSBAND&lt;/strong&gt;

Dear Tech support,
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed 
a distinct slow down in overall system performance, particularly in the flower
and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0. 

In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, 
such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5 and then installed  
undesirable programs such as NBL 5.0, NFL  3.0 and Golf Clubs 4.1.
Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. 
I&#039;ve tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.

What can I do?

Signed,
Desperate.


&lt;strong&gt;DEAR DESPERATE&lt;/strong&gt;

First keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, 
while Husband 1.0 is an operating system. Please enter command: 
I thought you loved me.html and try to download Tears 6.2 and don&#039;t forget 
to install the Guilt 3.0 update. If that application works as designed, 
Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and 
Flowers 3.5. But remember overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 
to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1. 

Please note that Beer 6.1 is a very bad program 
that will download the Snoring Loudly Beta.  Whatever you do, DO NOT install 
Mother-In-Law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually 
seize control of all your system resources.) 
Also do not attempt to reinstall Boyfriend 5.0 program. 
These are unsupported 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. 
You might consider buying additional software to improve memory 
and performance. We recommend Cooking 3.0 and Hot Lingerie 7.7.

Good Luck,
Tech Support.</description>

		<description>It was on Arlington Blvd  at Patrick Henry drive that a total idiot stopped his car, got out, and smeared his face on my right-hand window, because he improperly wanted the right of way and didn&#039;t get it. Since I was completely taken aback, I let him jump into his car and go ahead. Could this have been you, James? 

Road rage in DC is no joke!</description>

		<description>Clearly, this is all caused by the failure of the Amendment to ban gay marriage. 

You think I&#039;m joking, but I&#039;m counting the minutes until some Dobsonite wacko seriously tries to connect these things.</description>
