[pct-l] Pocketmail

[Jeff Moorehead]

Beware the message fffffffff86 gratuitously splashed across your Pocketmail 
screen. It means all messages are lost, nothing is recoverable,  the unit 
will no longer function, and you are now at the mercy of a bunch of dufuses 
located in Australia who clearly don't understand the relative inefficiency 
of the US Postal Service. Just make sure and get a working unit like 
Girlscout did and you'll be OK. But that's the problem. You have here a 
company that is trying to optimize their investment into cheaply 
manufactured motherboards for a technology that is rapidly fading into the 
Pleistocene-- that is, except for the cavepeople known as thru hikers and 
technophobic retirees in RVs. Other than that, I have no problem with 
Pocketmail  :)
