It is not 1993 any more, nobody bothers with PDF and nobody wants their house cluttered with dead tree - post some words if you want to be read. Bee less 'busy' faffing with Apple Mac weirdo-computers and proprietary, closed applications - or else!

constructive criticism is welcome- no need to be so venomous. The newsletter is distributed in Manchester, it went out on the UK wire accidentaly. It's on paper partly because not everyone is lucky enough to be able to access the internet, many people aren't lucky enough to have the time to browse the internet all day...

i don't have a 'weirdo-computer' and am not computer literate enough to worry about 'closed applications'; its done on the only computer i have free access to.

you say nobody bothers with newsletters.. well yes they do, eg with this one, in manchester.

so where do computers grow?

Surfer,

Support for open formats is a good thing - see  http://www.openformats.org/ for details, where you will learn that PDF v1.7 is an open format, known as ISO 32000.

I am currently reading the Free Bee on my GNU/Linux system using the free KPDF viewer, without any issues.
