In Response to Jared

Dear Tech Support,
  I've been in search of the perfect software ever since I first started using computers. I used to dream about the day when I finally purchased the program I'd been waiting for. Thus, I've made it a point to test as many of your products that I can. I've gone from Friend 2.0 to Friends with Benefits 2.0 to Boyfriend 2.0 and-- dissatisfied-- back again. Over the years I've discarded and upgraded these programs to levels to 3.0, 5.5, 6.0, and 7.0. Each time I felt more and more confident working with the software, but each upgrade was able to detect cookies and files left from the old systems. After awhile this really became an issue when these old files would pop up at the most inconvenient times, causing the upgrades to freeze up.
    After putting up with this long enough, I decided to erase all vestiges of these old programs and head straight into Husband 1.0, as I'd heard the modern program would act as a steady-- albeit slower-- support system, featuring programs like Make Money 1.0, Listening Ear 2000, Honey Let Me Cook 1.0, and Let's Go Out 1.0, and automatic updates including I Love You, You're Beautiful, I'm So Lucky, etc.
    Unfortunately, Husband 1.0 made similar returns as the older programs. Instead of operating automatically, I had to do all the software downloading and operating manually, dictating each step of the program! Make Money 1.0 turns out to be an online gambling program which forced me to install Two Income Family TI5 to combat its damaging effects on my computer!
    In addition, Listening Ear 2000 is less interactive than it was purported to be-- frequently sending my computer into the sleep stage. Even more often, the internet security seems much more lax than the other programs', as viruses and spyware are constantly turning my internet homepage into porn sites. Frankly, I had no idea that Husband 1.0 would slow down my system so much-- it seems to be making my computer work twice as hard as it used to just to make it through routine start up tasks.
    I'd like to uninstall it, but I heard I'd lose half my files. Is this true?
    Sincerely, "Frustrated"
Dear "Frustrated,"
    Unfortunately, installing Two Income Family was probably the worst thing you could have done. To uninstall Husband 1.0 with this program in your computer will actually cause you to lose almost everything. My recommendation is to upload Baby 2.0, which will enable you to maintain more of your files when you uninstall. In addition, as the uninstall will need to be handled professionally, my advice is to refrain from going back to your old software programs of Friends with Benefits and Boyfriend until Tech Support is fully satisfied that the uninstall is successful. This means you may have to do without your support software for awhile, unless you wanted to go with the program Girls Night Out, which is designed to be a safe, fast, and easy to use program. Girls Night Out (there are no upgrades available, as the program has never needed one) was created as a way to run all of your operating systems while you're in between support software; please note that if you do go this route, you'll need to make sure you run this program at least once a month after your other support system is installed, or it may uninstall itself.
Good luck!
Tech Support
