@endso, that reminds me of something:

Sorry about the poor quality. It's a screenshot from a lousy YouTube video.

It is good to see our old faithfuls running in the 2nd half of 2018...
a decade later...
how many different devices from that same year can still run their antiquated software ...like ours....still...?

I still use them for xmms ...
to this day I can't get enough of the old winamp skins, the full equalizer, all the plugins, the visualizations, and the fact it can handle a playlist of thousands of tracks...no prob.
for that alone...
I Love our old beasties....

Well it's OS2008 so not even in teens yet.
What's 10 years to a properly designed OS?

Python + simple json modules or python3 + requests modules = CLI messenger and ~# pkill browser

Slowly... but working for me

Hi guys,

Can anyone tell me if the built in email programme in OS2008 in my N800 will still work? I don't seem able to send & receive as it would 4 or 5 years ago - might that be because there is more security hoops to jump through these days?

Or if I could (& how?) delete it, reload & start it up again.

That supposes it does still work?

I can send & receive via a web browser using my usual email address if that is relevant

I'm not at all tech savvy & would need clear do this do that instructions if it's possible

Thanks in advance: Effsweet

great post n thank you for all this. you’re fantastic. just getting back into it ... gave my original n800 to a friend n didn’t realize how much i missed it until i found a NIB one on eBay. trying to get back to all i had by finding it pretty difficult these days. browsing the web is not really working anymore for example. i’m going to keep your info handy n get the OS on the SD card soon. still loving the n800 still after all this time. thanks again!

yup...
once one has a n8x0 it is hard to give them up.
it is past obsession, or fanaticism ..
it just roots itself into a person and finds a home.
Give it up...and you just miss it badly...

missed effsweets post somehow...
built in email is not an option any longer really..
however one can get emails running on it...
just takes some puttering.
gotta aim at clean simple and crap free ...essentially...
same as browsing the web...
it is still doable...
but forget using the flashy bloat crap that everyone has gotten used to...
yet again using a clean spartan interface and it is possible.
However ...much of the webs sites are geared nowadays TO utilizing all the crud that the browsers use...
So yet again...it is as much about what is important in one's life and simplifying one's life...as it is about enjoying the n8x0's and figuring how to work with it in today's insanely demanding world.

Personally I enjoy puttering and messing with stuff on mine all the time...
As far as continuous and daily usage...
ebooks, audiobooks, portable music for studio and when working outside or for enjoyment purposes during winter storms when the power goes out for days or weeks...
Nothing beats the n8x0's...
There is more...but recitation gets tedious after a few years...
:D
