I am so impressed with the pup that I decided to have a pupfest at said location.
Plan so far...Bust open piglet bank and buy some parts.
I will set up two identical second hand pc's ....I've found these ones...
Clone PIII550 CPU, 128MB of ram, 6.4GB IDE hard drive 32x IDE cd-rom drive, sound card, 8MB AGP video card, 10/100 PCI ethernet card, 1.44MB floppy, aprx cost without monitors kbd & mouse is $75 each.
I'd really like to put DVD burners in both & use puppy multisession to demonstrate saving sessions and playing dvd's, but funds will dictate.
Advertize a free show in local free classified ad's.....Invite local news media to attend.
Install somewhat equivalent commercial software on xp box as can be had for free in puppy
Provide a printout of time required to install XP, Service Packs, Software, Drivers, etc. as compared to time required to install similar puppy. (I'd show em but I can't imagine anyone sticking around for the whole show)
Let people play with both machines from boot up time to web browsing using Open Office / MS Office, games etc. maybe show em how easy it is to download a virus and some spyware or a porn dialer ....accidentally on purpose with both machines and how to deal with the resulting problems on each system.
Display the actual receipts for each box's hardware & software as demonstrated.
Print out or otherwise aquire some paper documentation about linux vs windoze security issues & give it away.
If I got any money left in my piglet bank after setting up the xp box with it's commercial equivalent software, maybe I'll burn some puppys to distribute to interested parties or give em out as door prizes or something.
Find a good hiding place from wife for when she finds out I'm doing all this at her workplace

Think MS or Adobe would donate copies of their stuff for this?....really hate to pay them for it but I guess I'll have to so as to be legal and to show what it really costs....no beer for snowdog for a couple weeks i guess.
Anybody have any other ideas I could bundle in this gig to make it more fun?
