Yeah, thanks. I shoulda thought to just put the =

I had
embedded pix in the messages before, and I fi=

and just lost the brain cells that=

the browser.
What's wrong with this =
picture?
I have been using google chrome for past several days, and I have=
to say
I like it in most regards. But it seems that it loses the message =
when
switching
out of html mode (using the rich text option from yahoo grou=
ps).
I switched back to firefox for this try.
?
That's the puzzle!!! If you give up, I can email you the answer, but I

Nice to see your still out there Govind !!!!
So what is up with Earthlink ????
I wish they would either pick the mailstation service back up
or release all the equipment and software rights !!!!
With the U.S. postal service now cutting back the Saturday delivery and
possibly rural area service, I expect that the Mailstation or something
similiar would now be a very good money maker.
Still haven't figured on how to re-program a Model 350. Hope somebody
can figure it out. I had a few that I wanted to put on Earthlink, and
one that I wanted to replace a 350 with another one, and Earthlink would
not do it for me.
NO new mailstation service or replacing existing units.
I had to use a model 150 unit and set it up as the 350 was.
My Aunt now has her service back. She can't live with out it !!!!
These units are great for the older generation, or the computer
illiterate. Simple email, nothing else !!!!!
Thanks,
Wayne

Actually a woman emailed me recently about how to get a Mailstation to work=
for her mother. When she called Earthlink, despite their website saying t=
hey no longer offer service for them, the rep fixed it up for her anyway. =
I guess it just depends on who you get ahold of as to what quality of cus=
tomer service you get. I mean, it's basically just dial-up internet with a=
n email account, after all.

No, the 250 & 350 both had grey cases (I =

shades of grey, though). The unit in the picture is

option that says yahoo!. or am i wrong?
I'm not really sure which models =
had the "yahoo" feature.
Seems like it was the earlier models though.
Bu=
t I will grant you that this particular unit (in picture)
did not have the=
yahoo feature (before yesterday at least).
But there is a lot more wron=

I'll post the answer later tonight.

Well, when I first saw it, I thought the screen looked odd. =
Too crisp for a photo or something, you know. But now that you gave a lit=

from where you customized the display colors?
Aha, see, I've never used a=
250 or 350, but I just now Googled what their OS looks like since I know t=
hey have a better screen, and the interface looks much nicer than the older=

sp for a photo or something, you know. But now that

rom where you customized the
Bingo!!!!!
But I think we=
have to give Govind half the credit
for noticing the "Yahoo!" icon. Fort=
unately there
is no prize to fight over. :-)
The hardware appears to be =
a "new 150" with blue-lcd,
but the screen is really from your emulator run=
ning
2.53yr firmware, but using my latest blue-lcd colors
that I "eyedrop=
pered up" from the original photo.
I suppose if I ran the actual 150 firm=
ware, you guys
would still be guessing. :-)
I thought the plain old "Mail=
station" logo
would the easiest thing to catch, but maybe I'm more
aware o=
f the differences than "normal" people. :-)
I also thought the "too perfe=
ct" screen might give it away.
The logo with no 100/150/200/250 after "Mai=
lstation"
means it is one of the earlier 2.xx firmware versions.
It did no=
t even occur to me that the 150 might not have
had the "Yahoo!" feature.
=
I just checked a real blue-lcd 150, and it does not have
"Yahoo!". I dunn=
o about the black-lcd 150's, I think
they were made before Cidco sold to Ea=
rthlink, so they
might have it. It's even possible there are 3 different
=
150's, because the box for this blue-lcd unit shows a
black lcd with logo "=
Mailstation 150" on the screen and
front edge of keyboard. I can't find my=
black-lcd 150
right now, but I am pretty sure it was a "Mivo 150" rather
t=
han a "Mailstation 150".
The blue-lcd 150 says "Mailstation 150" in the lo=
go, and
doesn't seem to have the battery indicator. AFAIK the
blue *case*=
was only used on the 150's (both black-lcd
and blue-lcd versions). And th=
e blue *lcd* was only in
the "new 150" & "new 120". (I never have figured=
out the
difference between 150 & 120, other than case color.)
There is n=
o way the 2.53 firmware (or the fw from any
earlier model) will run on the =
blue-lcd hardware.
It was kind of glaring to me, but then I thought
most=
would not know it wouldn't work, and think I had fed
the 2.53 fw into a 15=
0. To my knowledge the blue lcd units
require the 4.05 fw.
And, of course=
, if you look close enough, you can see
the photo-editing is not perfect.

And I was hoping that this would get us a little closer to getting
some equipment we could use ?????
Does anyone know when the last patents on the mailstations expire ??
