Thanks smokey01 for the Puppy Linux newsletter. Always read it and find it full of useful tips. Organising photos is one of my hobbies and your article in the July edition was very useful. Mike

I've got to also thank all the contributors for their efforts - succinct and really useful info that is timely for my projects that crop up or have been sitting on the backburner awaiting for such impetus the Newsletter provides. Obviously the recent newsletter regarding photo archiving, image editing (wish I could make the best out of mtpaint - http://puppylinux.org/wikka/UsingMtPaint; http://mtpaint.sourceforge.net/handbook ... ap_00.html; https://opensource.com/article/17/2/mtp ... mated-gifs; http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 134#780134 touch on some of the non-intuitive quirks), tips like using wget automagically for accurate downloads from browser links, command-line calculator etc are ones that come to mind as I now use regularly. I really enjoy the biographies of various Puppy stalwarts. You do a fabulous job smokey01 [EDIT - !!] and co-editors, and this is a really appreciated resource.
Do you have a wish-list of topics perhaps that can be divvied-up by potential contributors? Myself I find difficult to think of a topic I have any knowledge of that might suit the Newsletter format,
Cheers again

"mystery man" must be really old. He clearly preseeds linux history (sic)

Posted: **Thu 03 Aug 2017, 18:59**

debugging micro-code, space program, pre Altair 680b and the Apple 1... worked on code for mainframes that had magnetic core RAM.....a tick older I would agree.

Must be user prehistoric.
Do I get a prize?

Edit: Ah...Moat and mavrothal were faster. Seems I wasn't built for speed

Mystery man was a nice read. Freddie FADAC, teletypes, paper tapes and nixie tubes, how computing was meant to be!

Thanks for the nice read.

Clicking on the Update button usually works for me. I think the filename needs to be identical though.
