I have never owned a Blackberry, but could somerat please clarify how
those devices connected to the Blackberry servers please ? I assume
they used the mobile phone network somehow, but maybe they had some
other wireless way of connecting for their push messaging. Google is
uninformative.
The reason for asking is that the Gamache story I am reading (The
Beautiful Mystery - no spoilers) is not set in Three Pines [1] but in a
remote Monastery where their only means of communication is their
Blackberries and the landline. Seems unlikely to me, so I wonder if
she's got it wrong ?
She certainly has something else wrong - at a certain point Armand is
discussing chickens and she says something like "the only thing he could
think of was Foghorn Leghorn, but the was a cartoon character, not a
breed" which is correct up to a point, as Leghorns certainly ARE a breed
from Livorno (formerly Legorno). Please note this is NOT a F'r'Us
opening :)
[1] I am missing the "usual suspects" from 3P, but it's an interesting
story, and I'm learning a lot about an exitinct monastic order, singing
and Canada generally....
