<p>Finally, we have WOWTV here attempting this bold move, broadcasting on both Rogers network and the internet. Quite frankly, I am looking forward to suspending my Rogers network subscription if WOWTV turns out to be a great alternative.</p>

<p>this is a clip from this hour have 22 min, and it does show some of the common thoughts Canadian have throughout the country.  Of course that&#8217;s not how I am, but I find it seriously hilarious.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As I head for my desk looking forward to writing another article on <a href="whttp://www.pleasantlifestyle.com">pleasantlifestyle.com</a>, I&#8217;ve noticed something on my monitor. A piece of yellow paper with the text &#8216;Mr. X called at 905-xxx-xxxx&#8217; hangs off of the center of my screen. Apparently when I was focusing on the Stocks market and how much the U.S. housing slump is costing me, I missed a call and the person who took the call in my place recorded a message using post-it notes and sticked it on my monitor so I won&#8217;t miss it.</p>
<p>Post-it, Notes invented by Arthur Fry and is currently owned and manufactured by 3M is heavily used for such occasions. First marketed back in 1977, Post-it Notes has become something that almost every human have at least wrote one or received one. I personally use the writable notes for message relays and the non-writable ones as book marks.</p>
<p>Obviously <span id="more-53"></span> for anyone to fill a wall paper with post-It Notes, it&#8217;d be pretty stupid. However, the wall I am talking about here isn&#8217;t your physical wall, but your virtual wall. If you are reading this article, unless its been some how printed onto a piece of paper, you are using a computer. And any computer user know what a wall paper is to a computer, if you don&#8217;t, it is the background of your main desktop.</p>
<p>For Microsoft Windows users, 3M created a Virtual Post-It program, click <a href="http://www.download.com/Post-it-Software-Notes-Lite/3000-2351_4-10508740.html" target="_blank">here</a> to download it from download.com. This program give you a re-sizable virtual Post-It Note, with alarm attached. You can set it up so that it sounds an alarm on a particular day. Or simply use it to store some temporary information.</p>
<p>At one point, this software allowed multiple color Notes, and emailing of Notes. These meant that if I like, I can change the color of some of my post-it notes to any color manufactured by 3M. The emailing of Post-It notes function similar to physically posting a note on someone else&#8217;s computer, except this one is electronically transfered over. However, the latest revision have these functions disabled unless you paid for a registration number.</p>
<p>On download.com, there is also a screen shot, click <a href="http://www.download.com/3004-2351_4-10508740.html" target="_blank">here</a> to see it.</p>
<p>There are also other free software, such as <a href="http://www.sticky-notes.net/" target="_blank">Sticky-Notes.net</a>, but to me, it doesn&#8217;t seem as attractive cosmetic wise as 3M&#8217;s</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Honestly, I ran out of ideas to write about. So, I was browsing the internet to see what might be special about October 12 and I found something interesting. Apparently today is the birthday of Melvin Franklin, who passed away back in 1995.</p>
<p>You might ask, who on earth is Melvin Franklin? To be frank, I don&#8217;t know him personally, nor did I knew him when he was still actively singing. All I know about him is via the hit group &#8216;The Temptations&#8217;. Still doesn&#8217;t ring a bell eh? It doesn&#8217;t surprise me. Actually I am way too young to know their songs too, but I have heard of them. You might have too! Try to think about some movies, the background music with some guys singing:</p>
<p>&#8220;What! can! make! me! feel! this! way!? My Girl! (My girl!*My Girl!**)&#8221;<br />
*Echoed by two voice after initial My Girl!<br />
** Echoed by two more higher pitched voice after second My Girl!</p>
<p>Yes, that&#8217;s the Temptations! (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Temptations" target="_blank">more information</a>) a popular group since the 1960s, days of Motown.</p>
<p>So, I&#8217;ve decided to add a post to my blog, in memory of Melvin Franklin (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melvin_Franklin" target="_blank">more information</a>). And I&#8217;ve also included some of the Temptation&#8217;s best songs (found on Youtube! <img src='http://www.pleasantlifestyle.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> ).</p>

Just My Imagination</p>
<p>I just don&#8217;t seem to understand today&#8217;s generation. When I told my friends about all of these oldies that I know, they were staring at me like I was the hulk. Some singers, groups or songs should be passed on, simply because they are good. It is ridculous to consider a song not worthy to be listened to by the date that it was released.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Georgia">On a recent browse on the internet, especially the Microsoft’s web page, I&#8217;ve noticed a neat piece of software available free of charge. It is the <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=04D26402-3199-48A3-AFA2-2DC0B40A73B6&amp;displaylang=en">Microsoft Virtual PC 2007</a>. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia">This program is one of the virtualization programs available today for Windows users to have an extra system inside their machine while still using </span><span style="font-family: Georgia">their installed </span><span style="font-family: Georgia">Windows. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia">Virtual PC is an amazing piece of software because it allows for multi system co-existences within a single computer. How is that an advantage to me? You might ask, imagine a piece of software that you have been using happily for the last 10 to 15 years, let&#8217;s say good old Lotus 123 (for those of you who have no clue what Lotus 123 is, it is an accounting software). Suddenly your friend</span><span style="font-family: Georgia">s</span><span style="font-family: Georgia"> brought you a state-of-the-art laptop that is using Windows Vista</span><span style="font-family: Georgia"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia">you’re your </span><span style="font-family: Georgia">birthday, b</span><span style="font-family: Georgia">ecause you have been using Lotus 123 on your 286 that cost you thousands of dollars at the time</span><span style="font-family: Georgia">, you years of data written just of that software</span><span style="font-family: Georgia">.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia">Obviously you would try to migrate the software to your new laptop right? Or else you might have to redo the last 10 years of accounting books from scratch. During installation of your Lotus 123 program, it was complaining about missing dependencies and was looking for a MS-DOS 5.0 driver. At that point you are completely</span><span style="font-family: Georgia"> lost in the world of software techno-babble.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia">B</span><span style="font-family: Georgia">ecause you have no idea what the heck is going on, you </span><span style="font-family: Georgia">took</span><span style="font-family: Georgia"> your laptop </span><span style="font-family: Georgia">back</span><span style="font-family: Georgia"> for service</span><span style="font-family: Georgia">s and have their technicians install Lotus 123 for you</span><span style="font-family: Georgia">. The technician</span><span style="font-family: Georgia">s</span><span style="font-family: Georgia"> suggests, after reviewing your software, that you buy </span><span style="font-family: Georgia">another accounting software</span><span style="font-family: Georgia"> and redo everything from scratch. If you do your own accounting books, at this point you will be like &#8220;I&#8217;d rather stick to my 286 then&#8230;&#8221;.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia">But don&#8217;t give up yet, this is why this post exists. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia">With <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=04D26402-3199-48A3-AFA2-2DC0B40A73B6&amp;displaylang=en">Microsoft Virtual PC 2007</a> you can bring your old system INTO your new system. Sounds confusing eh? It isn&#8217;t really. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia">What it means is taking the software portion of your old system and virtualizes it. Once virtualized, the software portion exists in a Virtual Machine. This machine is part of your main system, so you can run all your old programs on your main system without further alterations. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia">What you need to do is create a Virtual Hard disk on your system using Virtual PC, and on that Virtual Hard Disk install your old Operating Systems. Then install all your old programs on top of this Operating System. And Viola! You took your old antique system and transferred it into your new system. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia">Advantages:<br />
Your Old System, let&#8217;s say a 286 was running at less then 33 MhZ. Your need system, if running at 1 GhZ, you just increased the speed of your software by almost 30 times.<br />
Your old software are now virtualized, so in the future if you upgrade your system again, all you have to do is copy the vhd file over and your system will come with you.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia">Disadvantages:<br />
You need to load up your laptop&#8217;s OS first before you can access your virtual System.<br />
Works on Windows Xp Professional and Up, Windows Xp Home is not included.<br />
If you corrupt your primary OS, both system dies with it. (So back up your Virtual system periodically)</span><span style="font-family: Georgia">So head over to get the Software right away!</span><span style="font-family: Georgia">Get <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=04D26402-3199-48A3-AFA2-2DC0B40A73B6&amp;displaylang=en">Microsoft Virtual PC 2007</a>. </span><font face="Times New Roman"> </font></p>
