Jemimah,
Just want to say thanks for all your excellent work on puppeee/fluppy and hope you enjoy your career and private life.

Jemimah,

Don't feel bad about stopping work on these projects - what you did was fabulous - I have used nothing else besides puppeee and fluppy on my netbooks and they're still the best.

Move on, have fun, work on them, don't work on them, whatever you feel like.

Don't be a stranger to the forum, you're always an honored part of the puppy family.

Best Regards,
tinker

Oh Jemimah!
Am I glad to hear you were not snagged by a gator in your swamp.
Since I started this thread I have tried a few other puppies but always come back to the one I love! I think had it not been for Puppeee I would have trashed my 701 a couple of years ago so it is nice to echo what was said in the last few posts.
I wish you all the best – and don’t get lost.
I do have one regret and kick myself for it – and that is that I didn’t copy the whole content of your blog to my computer!
All the best
Don

Not to derail the thread (seriously!) but I have a Dell CPi that boots --from CD-- in somewhere around 01:30 (MM:SS) -- tolerances on that are roughly +0sec / -15sec.

<docbrown> tablets? where we're going, we don't need... tablets! </docbrown>

The only tablet in my house is a Velocity Micro Cruz eReader. It is slow, difficult to use, and heavily locked down in terms of software. The screen sensitivity is roughly comparable to the gas pedal sensitivity on my mother's mid-90's Ford Ranger (we still joke about how she practically had to unbuckle and STAND on the pedal to get the thing to respond!). It does have WiFi and a browser, but if I said I was impressed with it... I'm lying so hard that my pants ignited. It's cr*p, and I won't use it.

The sad part is that the specs on that particular tablet probably outshine the CPi -- it's really just a matter of what you do with them Wink

If you really want slow then why not use a E-ink reader.
Them turn page in minutes and the batter last for a month or so Smile

Just teasing. Yes maybe that is a too cheap machine. They had to
lower the price to less than half to trust them can sell it.

Thank God all is well with you.

You've build quite an impression with puppeee. There is still nothing that compares, and there may never be. You're like a Steve Jobs for the eee-books. And be assured: you are loved by many that use eee pc's.

Enjoy life, it is too short to waste on things you don't like .....

Ha, I was wrong. The memory spec (256mb) alone puts the CPi right out -- its max memory capacity is 256mb!

Also, Borders went "exit stage left" something like a year ago. They no longer exist at all... good thing Mom put a Kindle app on there.

...and Cruz Market? Really guys? (Would the REAL Android Market please stand up?) Seriously, I don't think Cruz Market has more than maybe fifty apps. It certainly isn't worth even going to.

Puppeee on tablets would be ideal.
However as I keep saying the only working tablet
is the overpriced Ipad . . . at the moment . . .
. . . despite the high price and cost to Chinese workers

Comes on instantly.
Yep no booting.
Is fast and simple to use.
Just works.

Perfect? No. Well it ain't open enough.
You get what you paid for and not one magnet cover more . . .
. . . is it a style of extortion or extortion with style?
Ibet Jemimah has one Smile

A friend of mine was a computer expert who refused to use the
inferior mouse and GUI systems (GEM and Windows 1)
. . . they were 'just a fad'.

You know what happened. I know what happened and the gator in the swamp and mouse all know what happened.

Just to repeat tinkers sentiments:

wow jemimah with all the effort and advances you made for puppeee its a real shame you just tossed the towel in like that, I really respected the effort and work you put into it, I don't own a eeepc but I did read about it on your threads. Well I just hope you might find another project soon to work on. Looking forward to your next efforts.

Hello All

Here is most of Jemimah's website: puppeee.com.tar.gz
Username = puppy
Password = linux

i grabbed it via the WayBackMachine
and edited a lot of links to point to software packages that are still available.

On the home page are a couple of links: Puppeee Forum and Source Code
that point to what is available on the WayBackMachine.

I did not edit any of the links in the righthand column (sorry)

I hope that someone finds it useful
