I still have a '67 CL77 "Scrambler" that was my dad's. Learned to ride on it and took my first test on it. Ate spark plugs like candy, and my right leg was bigger than my left from kick starting it (no elec starter option) but still love it. Haven't ridden it in years (20?) but just moved ...

You could get some thing like this add on card and get VGA and a lot more functionality:

if I re-post the poem do I credit you or or " unnoned"?

Not Puppy or Linux, but, if you are not aware, any one using / experimenting with Arduino may find this interesting on indiegogo.

$9 ARDUINO Compatible STARTER KIT

Made their goal, still 12 days left.

Darn! I wish I still had the Compaq server that some of the SCSI's came out of. You would have loved it. Dual Pentium Pro's. It had to go when I lost my shop space. Had to toss a bunch of stuff then, about 2 dozen '86, '286 and '386 MB's. Still have a few PII and PIII's that need to go. Got a few Zi...

Today I literally just finished emptying out my storage unit, and I swear it was deja vu!! No, I didn't throw it all out, just moved it home to finally sort it out. The trick was fitting 10 X 12 X 10 ft tall unit into a 100 sq ft, 7 ft tall shed!! I have a lot of weeding to do. I think 3 of those co...

Try having a three year old! I get Wheels on the Bus and Old McDonald (or worse!) stuck in my head all the time!! I have found the two best solutions are to sing the song out load and get it out of you system, or think / sing to myself something short, very familiar and very boring. The best I have ...

Not Puppy, but linux. I updated to Fedora 18 with KDE on one machine and since then the "device notifier" applet would always ask for root password to mount cd/dvd/usb/sd drives when inserted. Never had before. No biggy, but annoying. Spent half the day searching for reasons. Permissions, ...

I read a while back some airports had to renumber their runways as they are numbered based on magnetic north. http://phys.org/news/2011-01-tampa-airport-runways-renumbered-due.html http://iceagenow.info/2011/09/magnetic-north-pole-moving-oregon-runway-renumbered/ So it does / is happening. It is ass...

When he shipped it to me to fix he insured it for a few hundred to cover replacement if damaged, a bit over kill! even for his newer machine. Cost an additional 10 bucks or so. Luckily he saves everything and had the original box. I am near a big city and big UPS hub, so not a lot of transfers. So w...

Technically I think they "merged" :wink: The retail stores are CompUSA, but Tiger still exists. Two different web sites. Tiger was originally part of a big office supply co. Can't remember their name. Allied? Global? I just shipped my dad's computer back to him a while back. Dell mini towe...

Here are some, even with operating systems (XP in case you need a copy). http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Category/guidedSearch.asp?CatId=6&sel=Detail%3B112_479_47192_47192?CatId=6&sel=Detail%3B112_479_47192_47192 They are the same as CompUSA now days, there may be one near you if in ...

No. i was just taking a thought to the extreme. Just like I didn't think you could patent a "rectangle with rounded corners". So if I tried to patented "the process of composing, producing, or performing an artistic work", and the fools at the PTO gave it to me, would every autho...

Bruce, The act you refer to applies in the US. Since Barry is in Australia, I sighted the more international limits. What do I think? Try looking up Happy birthday to You for an interesting story about copyright length and public domain. Did you ever wonder why TGI Fridays etc. sing those annoying s...

A quick look at wikipedia will give you the general facts. Copyrights are generally granted automatically when you publish a work to the public by placing your name, date and the word Copyright or the C in a circle symbol. By doing this you are claiming it is your original work and can present proof...

The C7 uses an intel x86 CPU not ARM

In the past I had issues with older pups and VB with a blank screen after the boot splash. On pups that use the older select keyboard / country / resolution I would get a blank screen. Just hit enter several times to accept the (unseen) defaults and then booting would continue to desktop. I don't re...

Just a guess, but since USB3 is still new, the components used still cost more. Once is is more widely used price will come down and it will become default. The other reason is USB3 can supply A LOT more power which most things don't need. If all ports were USB3 then the power supply and board layou...

Thank you for the confirmation. I just downloaded Precise and going to give it a try, if not I will fall back to an older one. Of course I may still have an issue getting his modem to work since I have no idea what he has. His machine is only a few years old, better than most I have. :) (It gave him...

Does anyone know if this still works? On old or current puppy? My dad lives in the boonies, stuck on dial up, but uses NetZero to use Chrome / Google Voice for long distance, and his computer crashed. Had to use Chrome since Voice no longer supports older IE.(he was still using Vista that came on th...
