It is long joke. I just picked up some paragraphs.
Husband 1.0
HUSBAND 1.0 There are a lot of pressures to upgrade from Boyfriend 6.0
to Husband 1.0. However before doing so make sure you understand the
implications of this change...
For one, system activity will be severely limited and you will be
compelled to instigate rigorous daily routines in space management,
garbage disposal and disc cleaning often with an accompanying increase
in system administration. This program can also be a drain on many
resources and demand constant attention. You will encounter an increased
amount of interrupts and error messages, while the program often cancels
processes without warning, very often crashing the system. In addition,
Husband 1.0 often refuses to respond to your commands and frequently
appears to be running processes which you have not authorized. If this
happens a lot, do not respond to any interactive requests from the
program and severely limit demand for extra bytes.
Every so often you will be promised a new release of the program, but
unfortunately, upon loading this new release, it is generally found to
be almost identical to the old one, with very few feature changes and
most of the same old annoying bugs which you were undoubtedly promised
would not be there in the new release. Put up with it or discontinue use
entirely. Husband 1.0 is a flawed program; many of the bugs are so
deeply encoded that, even if they can be located, they are impossible to
eradicate and have to be tolerated.
Husband 1.0 will frequently make use of low level language and may not
understand higher level commands so you must be prepared to use basic
functions when required. Often a few robust algorithms in handshaking
mode will produce a good response.
On completion of a process, Husband 1.0 will often inadvertently apply
the sleep command, or suspend system activity with a Ctrl ZZ. There is
nothing you can do in this case, but leave the program and try again
later.
