Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

aahhaaa

Yesterday I went to somebody's house to use their hispeed Comcast connection. I was going to show them Puppy (& leave a bookmark Cool

).
They have a bleeding edge HP DVD wide screen laptop, but have no clue about even minimal computer stuff, so their IE was still set default on MSN Search.
I typed in Puppy and IE responded with a 407-8 error- 'Page Not Acceptable'. That pissed me off, so I tried to get it to go to Google, IE didn't want to do that either, but I got it there eventually.
So this morning I tried the same thing on my machine- usually never go to MSN, or use IE. If it happened again, I was going to chew them out here.

SO... instead PUPPY headed MSN's list! Here's the first unsponsored entries:

Congrats Barry! Webfolk go nuts to achieve search engine top ranking, as I'm sure you know. Bit of all right, eh? Very Happy

ps I saved a file of it, just in case you want to hang a framed version in the Perenjori bar... Wink

That in itself is a hats off to Barry's effort.

Don't forget that Google tailors search results to suit your profile.
At least, I think they do, they do that for advertisements.
It is probably achieved by the cookie saved on your system.
Try delete the cookie, then do a search.
Then try from some else's computer.
