Ah, Graham.  Graham, Graham, Graham.  I thought that you would learn from
those also using Wife 1.0 that our references to SWMBO was not a jest but a
warning to those out there not currently using one of the various Wife
OS's.  That particular OS is extremely invasive and unless you have
previously installed the anitviral program PreNup 5.27 you are essentially
screwed.  There are really only two ways out: the first is to do a complete
shut down, wipe the financial drive clean and start over without any Leica
or Olympus subroutines.  Your second option is to become so affluent that
you can create a whole new system independent of Wife 1.0 while pouring
resources into Wife 1.0 and MotherinLaw666 to the point that they don't
care.

Now I know why your photography has been so good lately.  Out and about on
the paths is the only place free of computer programs and subroutines.
