Cute little Linux Puppy

Once again Linux Puppy has gotme out of trouble. 

After a fire at our shop (well more of a melting plug really) the power was turned off quickly and my old faithfull P3 office email machine went down taking the hard drive with it. It was slow so I thought I would replace it anyway, but having booted up with Puppy (woof woof) to recover the files it worked so well Im gonna keep it for a secure and clean internet connection for web payments etc. Come and see it in our shop, £5 worth of computer running as fast as a £100 one, just because of my little puppy!

What do your kids do on the computer?How much havoc do they cause with viruses and spyware? If you have a problem with puppy, 30 seconds to reboot and youre away! You can browse, type documents, chat, message, edit photos and a lot more for nothing! Worth a thought.


Microsoft killer again! seems to be a theme

Open Office 3.0

Oh yes, I nearly forgot Open Office 3.....while Im on the subject of Microsoft killers, why dont you try out Open Office 3? Still in beta but seems to work great, it now opens much faster and its just as good as Microsoft Office, just save as doc format and you wont know the difference!

Google Chrome

Have you tried it yet? The new browser from Google has just come out of beta, and its looking awful good (or bad if youre from Microsoft). Its small, fast, clever, fast (did I mention that?), and its also fast! 
When Firefox 3 came out, we tried it against IE6 and 7, and it blew it out the water for all practical applications. Chrome is even faster, by anoticeable margin, and its got 6 home pages! ...well sort of.
