   Hallo Henri!   
      
    HD> Connectivity by BinkP protocol to many nodes worldwide is called   
    HD> FidoWeb.   
      
   Okay.  I've never called it that and have an adversion to using the term 'web'   
   given it's usage in cyberspace.   
      
    HD> Are you learning Dutch?   
      
   Not much so far.  I don't have a good teacher as well as lack someone to   
   converse with in Dutch.   
      
    HD> Huil niet om mij, ik heb vi   
      
   Excellent!  Dank je!  I'll make the change.   
      
    HD> I am not sure I, I do not have vi,   
    HD> The next time I switch on my Raspberry Pi,   
    HD> I shall have a look at Raspbian Jessie Linux if it also contains vi.   
      
   It is probably a soft link to vim.  It was on my customized aarch64 I built   
   for Raspberry Pi.  That was fun while it lasted.  I ended up donating it to my   
   grandson and am now contemplating getting a rock64 which is far more capable   
   especially for developing an aarch64 enviroment since it can come with up to   
   4G of DDR3 embedded memory which is exactly what I have in mind.  I don't like   
   having to do swap to compensate, especially not on flash disks where I tend to   
   limit writes to an absolute minimum.   
      
    HD> After that I can get high ;-).   
      
   Sounds like a plan.   
      
    HD> It sure has Nano and leafpad.   
      
   Nano is good but not as good as vi.  Make sure you have the latest version of   
   Nano as the word wrapping works best now that it has been patched for it.    
   Earlier versions didn't work that well.  Also Nano is good at utf-8.  :-)   
      
   Het leven is goed,
