Hi all.
My name is Cheryl as I guess you can see from my signature. Besides I'm sure I
probably know some of the people on this list at least by name and email
postings.
I am totally blind and use speech and/or braille with my computers. I've had
experience with DOS (guess I can still count that!), a few flavors of linux,
Mac OS from Tiger on through Mountain Lion, and Windows (xp and 7). I've also
used cell phones and iOS devices (iPhone and iPad). But I haven't done anything
yet with a raspberry pi. I'm considering getting one and wanted to learn about
the process: to get answers to questions like Are there any accessories or
enclosures or anything else that I should buy along with the pi? How do I get
the OS on an sd card and what size sd card? do I need to plug it into something
with video even though I don't need video? what can I do with it once I get it
up and running - I know it will be linux but I'm wondering with the ram
especially what my limitations will be? I'm not asking anybody to answer those
questions now; i'm just letting you know why I joined this list. I want to
learn what I need to know before buying and then have some support while
getting it up and running and then hopefully be able to learn more myself and
help and encourage and commiserate with others when they get their raspberry
pies (hmm, what is the plural of pi?) I do already know I want the B model with
ethernet. Of course I know I'm not going to depend just on the list for answers
but also am going to google and look at websites for information but I think
this list, with people who have already worked with this device, is going to be
a big help and a lot of fun.
Oh yeah, I was supposed to write an introduction not a book - right? So I'll
stop here and let you all know when my autobiography comes out - not!
