    The Woman kernel actually functions pretty well, aside from certain limitations of the thread scheduler that preclude making anything happen in real time. I especially like the ChoclateAndFlowers interrupt - very handy that. Some of the user level stuff could use a little work. There's a nasty AnyNewsOnTheJobFront loop that can happen in the Mother extension when the offspring starts working contract. There doesn't seem to be a timeout on this one. Not a show stopper, but takes up cycles. There's also a nasty crash in the MaleFogotMyBirthday routine that can happen in GirlFriend mode, or when running Wife. ChoclateAndFlowers is helpful here, but you still need permissions - this one has been known to Blues Scream. Debugging Woman is inherently difficult, due to the non-determinisic threading model, and should be limited to high level break points such as "How was your day, honey?". Do not rely on Edit and Continue for things like "I'm going down to the pub with the guys", and take anything you see in the call stack with a grain of salt. Calls to Discount or SaleToday rarely show up in anything but the system logs or possibly event viewer, depending on purchase authorization. Treat Woman with R-E-S-P-E-C-T and you should have no problems. Make sure the garbage collection routines are run frequently, and proper cleanup is performed after invoking any personal applications client side. Do try and get some good hardware - there are some units that will tend to expand if ChoclateAndFlowers is overused, and can overheat after a certain period. Lastly, make it perfectly clear that you know she's just perfect, and you wouldn't change a thing. Even if you could. :rose:

      I would set a breakpoint on the GettingAngry event, which would pause the execution and allow me time to think of a good apology :-\ Actually I can't think of any trait that is common to *all* women that needs to change. Well apart from the aging process, but that's a man problem too :doh:

          It's too late, the image is corrupt and all further queries will result in an access violation. Time to dump core and begin the grueling process of postmortem debugging...

          You're right. These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets.

            I always suggest the debugging method CleanTheHouse. You'd be surprised at how many errors are removed afterwards. :-D

                    But are you reinstalling StandardWoman or creating your own custom function? I think the custom version is very hard to install!

                      Sadly, there's no version of Ghost available for Woman. Custom images are, at best, hacks.

                                          That's the rule #1 with women; when we kvetch at you about something we just want to kvetch. We are not looking for your solution on how to fix the problem. Just hear us out and follow up with "I told you that beatch was crazy!" (Chris Rock fans will get this one.)
