We have an infamous one made by Nooby? I fail to remember but he assured everybody that Puppy had no Pinboard what so ever. Puppy only had a Desktop.

As we all know it is the other way around. Puppy only have a Pinboard and fail to have a Desktop. :)

Puppy is semi-geek
With Ubuntu you do not have a choice - you have to remain 'stupid' (controlled/protected).

That would be a sad day. If it weren't for posts questioning running as root, what would be the stimulus for arguing in its behalf?

I dearly hope everybody have forgotten my blooper.

I even have a hard time to remember it . I wrote something about
"There is no pinboard to be found in puppy anywhere only a Desktop so why on earth does it say Pinboard when there is none?" something like that.

So embarrassing. There is no regular standard Desktop there is only a Puppy Pinboard and I had no idea what I was talking about. So typical of Nooby. Big mouth small headed guy.

Here's my original, but no longer used sig

On observance: Place banana in your ear.
Observe that there are no alligators around.
Conclude: Bananas placed in ears keep alligators away :)

It was loosely based on this, by Buddha, from the Kalama Sutta
Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumoured by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.

That's not how we do things. We *fix* things, instead of making things
even *worse*.

Stop this insanity from spreading, instead of making it spread more!
