Letter from a desperate customer.

Dear Software Solutions:

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 jewelry applications that had operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0

In addition, Husband 1.0 deleted many other valuable programs such as Romance 9.9 and installed undesirable programs such as NFL 5.0 and NBA 3.0 Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and House Cleaning 2.6 simply crashes the
system.

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