Message-ID: <001501c9c952$0a4c8ce0$210110ac@yourfsyly0jtwn> Hello everyone, Someone needs to get the conversations going so it might as well be me. Today our chapter made history by being the first Texas Affiliate to establish a presence on NFB Net. Karla will do a great job as our list moderator. I just looked at the list of subscribers. We currently have 7 undigested members and two members on digest mode. The difference between these modes is the method of message delivery. In undigested mode subscribers receive individual messages as they are posted to the list. In digested mode subscribers receive an entire day's worth of list traffic in one daily message or digest. As for our chapter Web site the domain was registered today and is in the process of being pointed to NFB Net and propagating around the Internet. David Andrews is in the process of creating our place-holder on the NFB Net Server for our Web Site so progress is being made. As time goes on A. Z. and I will keep everyone posted here and during our meetings concerning the development of our Web site. All of us are fine. No one is sick. Here's hoping everyone is healthy and having a blessed week. All the best from Mary, Cindy, and myself for a merry month of May. See you at the next meeting. Peter Donahue . Praise God none of us are sick. "Given a chance to dream it can be done. The promise of tomorrow is real. Children of Spaceship Earth the future belongs to us all." Flying for Me, John Denver
