Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: FFL Neo Mobile
Maybe I should rephrase what I said: Only a nerd would post to FFL, using Windows, Android or any other software, whether a PC, a tablet, or a phone. If you're using Google Android on your phone, wouldn't it make sense to view FFL using Google Chrome and Google Mail? Go figure. On 11/28/2013 11:05 AM, Bhairitu wrote: Windows Yahoo? Since when is Yahoo just Windows? It's a web site not peculiar to Windows at all. Why would I want to download emails just to look at FFL? You aren't making any sense, Richard. Go figure.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: FFL Neo Mobile
Ahem! Reread time. The browser used in the screenshot was indeed Google Chrome on Android. Figure it out. Interesting thing on Linux (I don't read FFL on Windows) was that Chrome wouldn't let me insert the HTML code for the pictures. Firefox worked though. Now I think I'll port that app for Base64 encoding to Android so I can use it on the go. Should be easy since it is written in C# and I'll just compile on Xamarin with a couple changes for the Android interface. On 11/29/2013 11:44 AM, Richard J.
