Installing Love
Installing Love~~~~~~~~~~~~
Customer: Well, I'm not very technical, but I
think I'm ready to install it now. What do I do first?

Tech Support: 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?

Tech Support: What programs are running, ma'am?

Customer: Let's see... I have PAST-HURT.EXE,
LOW-ESTEEM.EXE, GRUDGE.EXE, and RESENTMENT.COM running
now.

Tech Support: No problem. LOVE will gradually
erase PAST-HURT.EXE from your current operating
system. It may remain in your permanent memory, put
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?

Tech Support: My pleasure. Go to your Start menu
and invoke FORGIVENESS.EXE. Do this as many times as
necessary until it's erased the programs you don't
want.

Customer: Okay, now LOVE has started installing
itself automatically. Is that normal?

Tech Support: 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?

Tech Support: Yes, but remember that you have only
the base program. You need to begin connecting to
other
HEARTs in order to get the upgrades.

Customer: Oops. I have an error message already.
What should I do?

Tech Support: What does the message say?

Customer: It says, "ERROR 412-PROGRAM NOT RUN ON
INTERNAL COMPONENTS." What does that mean?

Tech Support: 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?

Tech Support: Can you pull down the directory
called "SELF-ACCEPTANCE"?

Customer: Yes, I have it.

Tech Support: Excellent. You're getting good at
this. Now, 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 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?

Tech Support: 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. Ah, one
more thing.

Customer: Yes?
Tech Support: 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!

*** Remember, LOVE is Freeware! ***
