More articles by Vince SorceLife giving you trouble? Just reboot!I’ve been thinking so much about life lately and I’ve come to the conclusion that we should parallel computers more in our lives.
Let’s face it, life is just about changing or upgrading programs and hardware anyway. When you’re first born you're the latest and greatest model right out of the box but a week later you're outdated and new models are already in production.
You start out with Baby version 1 which has horrible bodily function outputs. It would behoove IBM or Microsoft to develop an upgrade to slow or stop this process. While they’re at it this program is very noisy and doesn’t really do much but continually use resources.
Toddler v2.1 has many entertaining games included but they become redundant quickly. Also the motion hardware needs a stop switch.
Reliable virus software should be installed at this point but chances are you’ll catch something anyway. There is a good chance that Baby v1 may run again randomly at this stage or any stage in the future. To prevent this use the anti-spywear version of snip-snip.
This is an excellent time to install College-fund v1.3 (see College v18.1 below) and make sure you upgrade each year and after every new install of Baby v1.
Child v4.8 spends several hours a day downloading new data at a central remote location and will run remedial data almost every evening. Focus is an issue with this program. It often jumps from task to task without ever completing any and continually has question prompts.
Preteen v10.5 is where trouble can begin. Interaction between sibling and parenting modules can become strained and this can slow down all household programs. Bathing v2.1 should be upgraded at this point and the back-talk driver should be uninstalled if at all possible.
Teen v13.2 is the longest timeframe where upgrades are not available but desperately needed. There will be different issues here depending on if you have baby boy or baby girl installed but regardless puberty v12.8 will install at random times and will never be configured correctly. A fix has never been found for this bug. Outburst v8.6b, dating v9.8 and I-Hate-You v10.7, among others, will become activated at arbitrary times with no observable patterns, this is due to the Hormones add-in that is embedded in this program.
College v18.1 has hundreds of options and varies in cost from state to state but is usually a pay as you go system. In most cases the program will run remotely for long stretches of time and will only run after payment has been made. Masters v21.2 and PHD v24.7 are expensive upgrades but will most likely assist in the future upgrade to employment 25.6 (see below).
Adult v25.4 is installed and uninstalled randomly after college v18.0 and sometimes during. Often times it can take months, sometimes years, before the install is complete and configured correctly and it needs constant tweaking. One other application is required to run Adult v25.4 and that is Employment v25.6 (unless Wealth v2.5a has been installed sometime since Baby v1.0).
There are hundreds of options, upgrades, drivers and add-ins for this program not to mention peripheral devices. Two popular options for this program are Lover v2.9 which can be installed multiple times and upgraded to Spouse v3.2.
If either of these programs fails to run as expected be very careful uninstalling Lover v2.9 and/or Spouse v3.2 especially if you have installed Wealth v2.5a because you will lose all your data particularly if you have multiple installs. And of course either of these programs may install Baby v1.
Retirement v65.2 is the ultimate goal of all previous programs. If all other programs have run successfully then this application will install automatically and with no glitches. That almost never happens though. Most people when running Employment v25.6 disregard the suggested settings of the 401k add-in spec. If that’s the case you will be forced to down grade to a smaller machine and give up some peripheral devices besides being forced to install SSN v67.3.
Ending a program prematurely can result in loss of all data sharing on the network. Peripheral devices are optional. Please be advised that all these programs can be run more than once and can be run simultaneously although it is recommended that as few as possible be run at the same time.
Good luck and if all else fails, just reboot! Sponsored by EnterTo.com the first REAL spam free email
