WHATS NEW IN Rick Springfield Version 5.3
Operating System (OS)
==============================================

Rick Springfield Version 5.0 – While this was a stable and comprehensive OS, in its 2 years of release many users have complained of redundancy in the program. Programs such as Houdini v5.2, P.T.Barnum v8.1, and H.G. Wells v8.0 ran repeatedly when RS v5.0 was activated. With a newly redesigned MoFo Board, a surging Hard Drive and added RAM it is hoped that the current release will enhance overall diversity as well as create better access to all of the features.

Rick Springfield Version 3.0 – To our dismay many users still insist on using this OS in spite of the fact that all current versions offer a more full featured and "User Friendly" interface. This initial OS was a Beta and tended to be slowed down by an impractical cosmetic interface, excessive “catchy melody”.dll files, and an inability to maintain continuity of management programs  which obscured and hindered its realizing its full potential.  We strongly encourage anyone who continues to depend on this OS to consider upgrading to the latest version ASAP.

New Features in RS v5.3:

• The popular Goatee Plugin Option has been included back in the new upgrade. Previously it had been found to be incompatible with the EFX Alive v2001.
• The New Bucky File Protocol has been added to manage all calendar and multitasking operations. When the number of active clusters exceeds safe limits "Bucky" will close down all nonessential operations.
• "Floppies" are no longer supported in this version.
• The Gigolo Zoom option has been added to the TMBMOTP Image Viewer v6.9.
• The new "Skins" feature allows users to change the appearance of RS v5.3. Options now include "Leather Dreams", "Fruity Boot-tay", "Flourescent Surfer Dude", "Mama Mia .. Datsa Spicey Meataball!", and the default, "Rick Buttweiser, the King of Rears".

• Broken arm.dll reported with the last version has now been fixed and appears to be fully functional once again.
• The CD Writer has reportedly been functioning very slow to date. It is believed that by disabling EFX Alive v2001 this problem has essentially been eliminated.
• Users reported excessive activation of LMAOPIMP.exe, especially when accessing the AliveNet Chat. In this version we have included the ICP://Depends/Jos.dll file to provide users with an effective countermeasure.
• Chest Hair v5.6 has been reinstalled with this version but has been known to be randomly deleted when Ripped Abs v6.0 is installed.

• Interface with AOL is still rather tenuous and may result in repeated system shut down when attempting to log onto Java based chat programs.
• The internal clock still tends to run slower then real time causing some programs to activate later then expected.
• RS v5.3 is known to occasionally conflict with Husband 2.3 and Boyfriend 5.8. Users of these programs should recognize that they may be mutually exclusive. It has been suggested that some users have had considerable success by installing Silent Treatment v9.4 or by entering the command C://I NEED MY PERSONAL SPACE at startup prompt. Applications such as Beer v6.0 and Football 5.8 have also been reported to have some success, but are not endorsed.
• Money Management Programs have been reported to reallocate large amounts of funds to the Rick Springfield OS.
• The Dragon v8.0 Plugin remains extremely large and when unzipped may overwhelm all open directories triggering Drool v7.3 to activate and result in sudden system shut down.
• When executed rose.dll may cause file fragments to scatter throughout all open directories.
•  In spite of our best efforts the Brightness Controls still tend to be spotty when accessing the AliveNet Chatroom.
• The OS will not operate if Stalker 4.1 is installed.
• Some users have reported that after installation of RS v5.3 the keys on their keyboard seem to vanish. We have recommended that as a "workaround" they turn their keyboards right side up ... Duh!
