script problem...
Authored by: chuloco on Dec 26, '04 08:13:23AM

"But sometimes people really make an easy thing complicated (like "I wrote a 15,000 word script to empty the trash...."). :)"

True, and sometimes people forget to make it work for everyone:

"Obviously, chances are your wife's name is not Shan, so put your own wife's user name in its place."

So I'm stuck not being able to use this hint, as even though I'm doing exactly as it says, I am getting an applescript error when I get to this step - for some reason it chokes when I enter "no value - not married". I need a script that works for boyfriends. I tried the obvious, but my boyfriend gets mad when I refer to him as my wife, and I don't know how to change the script to get around not having a wife. I had to give up after my boyfriend angrily refused to even discuss my getting a wife - he gave some silly reasons why I couldn't have one, and he won't admit it, but I think the real reason is he's just tired of me always wanting more stuff for my Mac.

I guess I'll wait until an alternative script shows up, or maybe by my birthday he will understand my needs, and I can get a wife.
