[OT] [Humor] Software Installation Issues.

Hello, INSTALLING HUSBAND 1.0 *A woman writes to the IT Technical support Guy * *Dear Tech Support**, ** **Last year I upgraded from **_Boyfriend 5.0_** to **_Husband 1.0_** and I noticed a distinct slowdown in the overall system** **performance,** **particularly in the flower and jewellery 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 * NEWS 5.0*,* _MONEY 3.0_* and *_CRICKET 4.1_**.*_ _*_Conversation 8.0 _**no longer runs, and **_House_**_ _**_cleaning 2._**6 **simply crashes the system.* Please note that I have tried running *_Nagging 5..3_** *to fix these problems, but to no avail. * **What can I do? Signed, * ______ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ *_ _**_Reply_* * **DEAR Madam, ** **First, keep in mind, *_Boyfriend 5.0_ is an Entertainment Package, while _Husband 1.0_ is an operating system. * **Please enter command: **_ithoughtyoulovedme. html_**_ _**and try to download **_Tears 6.2_** and do not forget to install the **_Guilt 3.0_** update. * If that application works as designed, *_Husband1.0_*_ _should then automatically run the applications *_Jewellery 2.0_* and *_Flowers 3.5.._*_ _* **However, remember, overuse of the above application can cause **_Husband 1.0_** to default to **_Silence 2.5_** 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_* under any circumstances install *_Mother-In-Law 1.0_*_ _(it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.) *In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the **_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 Looks 7.7. _* *Good Luck Madam!* *IT SUPPORT DESK* -- Regards, Rony.

I am having problems in intalling Linux on my P2 350. The cds are being read, but they fail to install. Will someone please help install a recent upgradable version of Linux on my P2? Your help would be very much appreciated. Regards, Vipul. Guess I have not been properly understood. I'll rephrase my question. If it is possible, will somebody please be kind enough to come over to my place at Bhayandar and install linux on my Pentium 2 350? Plus check whatever is wrong and fix that up. And install any of your linuxes that go well with P2 350. I would very much appreciate that. Regards, Vipul.
