Waiting

I'm waiting for my parts list so that my Raspberry Pie can be built. Meanwhile, my USB hub and keyboard come today according to UPS.

I talked with Mike on Mangler.I now understand Raspberrian is a distro for the pie based on Debian. It has a graphical user interface which doesn't curently speak. I'm interested in the console and excited to think my skills in the console will be improved if I work steadily in Pie Land.

I'd be much happier working on my console skills than learning emacspeak. I've done a little work with Vim and Nano and I like the Alpine email client. I have even used Lynx to download books from the NLS site. Mike is working on a new build so maybe the instabilities he has noticed will be less of a factor. I hope so.
