Unless this was really meant to be a netmail response, maybe you should explain to the outside world, in this global echo, what the fuck an FDN is?

My bad. The above should read "a(sic) FDN is?".

I *do* know that English proper does not rank high on the US school agenda, but 'a' vs. 'an' really does not depend on spelling but on pronunciation in English proper. I.e. eff dee enn.

One reason I like this echo is that the participants' ability to speak
and write in English is better than that found in many if not most US publications.

television. I can't read a book because I can't use my left arm or
hand (if I do it sets off an alarm on the machine). I don't know about Europe, but daytime US television is HORRIBLE. I wish I could sleep.

Hi All,

Is there a Backbone.Zn (where n not = 1) file in existence? If yes can I get a copy? Maybe someone (a Host) could make one by exporting an Area list from an existing app? Format not critical :)

Hello Ben,

Sure.

Since no private elist/echolist has any official status in Fidonet,
feel free to write your own.

Here's your first entry -

Description:

This is the Fidonews Echo. Area tag: FIDONEWS

Moderator:

The Fidonews editor, as listed in the nodelist and in the banner of
the most recent issue of the Fidonews weekly publication, is the
permanent moderator of this echo.

Oh. One more thing. This echo is not limited to zones outside
of zone 1. It is quite inclusive. Isn't that amazing? After all,
there is only one Fidonews/editor/moderator/nodelist. And you know
what that means ...

Have a day,
--Lee

would a Kindle or other eBook work? You should be able to use one with one hand.

Might be time to discover podcasts, if you haven't already. They're a great
way to make use of otherwise idle time. I love listening to podcasts on my commute to/from work, makes better use of sometimes 2 hours a day.

Best of luck to you and your treatment.
