[nfbcs] nfbcs Digest, Vol 129, Issue 1

[Rick Reed]

Jonathan,

Ok, I feel a little ignorant here, but I'm drawing a blank as to what 
"R" is...

Could you please enlighten/remind me?

Thanks!

> I have just established a new email list for those interested in using R as a blind person. I see requests coming through a number of current NFB-hosted lists that I feel I need to respond to as well as others that come directly to me. Keeping  track of a lot of lists is proving a little time-consuming for me personally, and to be honest, I'm getting quite distracted by interesting but less relevant discussions. I love helping people with finding solutions though so wanted a more dedicated list to focus my attention. It's time we started working as a group of people more and more so that we all (me included) can get the best out of R now and into the future.
