Watch Free TV on your PC Anytime with AnyTV
You know that somewhere on this big open web that you should be able to watch some free tv don't ya? The problem is where. How many times have you went to a web site thinking that you could watch a little tvola, just to find out that you just infected your computer with thirteen variations of viruses and worms. I have found just the place for you that you can not only watch tv, but listen to the radio, or watch video channels from around the world. All it takes is 3 simple steps to be on your way. First get in your car, drive 250 miles to the nearest cell tower and ...NO....just a little computer gal humor there, what's that laugh that Mork from Ork used to do......
Here is the real list of what to do....
1. First time you launch AnyTv, you'll be prompted to download the channel list, click yes to allow, as we need that (right). Click close when it is finished downloading, takes 60-120 seconds. Ok now you got the list in front of you, so...
2. If you would rather not scroll through the hundreds of foeign-language channels, from ALL OVER THE WORLD, click the "All Countries" drop down menu and select the locations that you do want to check out. Now there are a few U.S. Regions, so go threw the list so you don't miss anything.
3. Step 3, is the easiest one, pick the channel, and click the play button, ok, now let me repeat that one, choose the channel, and click PLAY, ooopps, there goes my Mork from Ork laugh again......
Ok, you can get the player in a couple places, the author's site
http://www.anytvplayer.com/download.html
Where you will click on the AnyTv FREE to download, or you can download it from PC World, where they have a nice little article about it as well, it can be found here
As always I hope I have enlighted you in someway, or at least given you something new to do with your computer. If you find any of my tips helpful or you are just a nice person, we have alittle donation button on the home page found at www.computer-gal.com, so if you could throw Computer Gal a buck or two, I promise to post more often.....No but really, I want to try that thing where everyone in the world donates one dollar to see if I can become a millionaire (oh shutup Mork)....
Till Later your favorite computer lady

INSTALLING A HUSBAND (too funny not to post)
I normally don't read the joke chain letters that people pass back and forth to one another, for the obvious reasons :)
But, this was just too funny. I very good friend of mine Peggy, who is more like my adopted mother sent me this one, and since it has to do with technology (tongue in cheek), I had to post.
Ok, so women, you will know what I mean here, and men, I'm sorry, but I am a woman and well......
INSTALLING A HUSBAND
Dear Tech Support,
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0. In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as NASCAR 6.0, NFL 5.1 and Golf Clubs 4.1. Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do?
Signed,
Desperate.
DEAR DESPERATE,
First, keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system. Please enter command: ithoughtyoulovedme.html and try to download Tears 6.2 and do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update. If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5. However, remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1. Please note that Beer 6. 1 is a very bad program that will download the Farting and Snoring Loudly Beta. Whatever you do, DO NOT under any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.) In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0-program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0. In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend Cooking 3.0 and Hot Lingerie 7.7. Good Luck Ba be!

Thanks again Peggy for the technical humor..
