INSTALLING
LOVE
for
2004
Tech. Support Rep: Hello Ma'am, how
can I help you today?
Customer: Well, after much
consideration, I've decided to install love. Can you guide me
through the process?
Tech. Support Rep: Yes, I can help
you. Are you ready to proceed?
Customer: Well, I'm not very
technical, but I think I'm ready to install now. What do I do
first?
TS Rep: The first step is to open
your HEART. Have you located your
HEART ma'am?
Customer: Yes I have, but there are
several other programs running right now. Is it okay to install
while they are running?
TS Rep: What programs are running
ma'am?
Customer: Let's see, I have PAST-HURT.EXE,
LOW-ESTEEM.EXE, GRUDGE.EXE, and RESENTMENT.COM running right now.
TS Rep: No problem. LOVE will
gradually erase PAST-HURT.EXE from your current operating system.
It may remain in your permanent memory, but it will no longer
disrupt other programs. LOVE will eventually overwrite LOW-ESTEEM.EXE
with a module of its own called HIGH-ESTEEM.EXE.
However, you have to completely turn off GRUDGE.EXE and
RESENTMENT.COM. Those programs prevent LOVE from being properly
installed. Can you turn those off ma'am?
Customer: I don't know how to turn
them off. Can you tell me how?
TS Rep: My pleasure. Go to your
Start menu and invoke FORGIVENESS.EXE. Do this as many times as
necessary until GRUDGE.EXE and RESENTMENT.COM have been completely
erased.
Customer: Okay, done. LOVE has
started installing itself automatically. Is that normal?
TS Rep: Yes. You should receive a
message that says it will reinstall for the life of your HEART.
Do you see that message?
Customer: Yes I do. Is it
completely installed?
TS Rep: Yes, but remember that you
have only the base program. You need to begin connecting to other
HEART's in order to get the upgrades.
Customer: Oops. I have an error
message already. What should I do?
TS Rep: What does the message say?
Customer: It says "ERROR 412 -
PROGRAM NOT RUN ON INTERNAL COMPONENTS." What does that mean?
TS Rep: Don't worry ma'am, that's a
common problem. It means that the LOVE program is set up to run on
external HEARTS but has not yet been run on your HEART. It is one
of those complicated programming things, but in non-technical
terms it means you have to "LOVE" your own machine before it can
"LOVE" others.
Customer: So what should I do?
TS Rep: Can you pull down the
directory called "SELF-ACCEPTANCE"?
Customer: Yes, I have it.
TS Rep: Excellent. You're getting
good at this.
Customer: Thank you.
TS Rep: You're welcome. Click on
the following files and then copy them to the "MYHEART"
directory: FORGIVE-SELF.DOC, REALIZE-WORTH.TXT, and ACKNOWLEDGE-LIMITATIONS.DOC.
The system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin patching
any faulty programming. Also, you need to delete VERBOSE-SELF-CRITIC.EXE
from all directories, and then empty your recycle bin afterwards
to make sure it is completely gone and never comes back.
Customer: Got it. Hey! My HEART
is filling up with new files. SMILE.MPG is playing on my monitor
right now and it shows that PEACE.EXE, and CONTENTMENT.COM are
copying themselves all over my HEART. Is this normal?
TS Rep: Sometimes. For others it
takes a while, but eventually everything gets downloaded at the
proper time. So, LOVE is installed and running You should be able
to handle it from here. One more thing before I go.
Customer: Yes?
TS Rep: LOVE is freeware. Be sure
to give it and its various modules to everybody you meet. They
will in turn share it with other people and they will return some
similarly cool modules back to you.
Customer: I will. Thanks for your
help. By the way, what's your name?
TS Rep: You can call me the Divine
Cardiologist, also known as The Great Physician, but most just
call me God. Most people feel all they need is an annual check-up
to stay heart-healthy, but the manufacturer (Me) suggests
a schedule of daily maintenance for maximum efficiency. Put
another way, keep in touch.
