Anybody else going through this chaos?
I bought a Peek pronto for my son in law who is in a home based businees and refuses to have Internet access at home. I was monitoring his email. When it got to be a pain I bought him a Peek
Pronto, which was a handheld device with email only. It seems that the company is in turmoil there is no service on the old models and there is no word when the models will ship.
Anybody have any ideas for alternatives? He needs to be able to view attachments ie PDf Doc Jpg.
He should either get an office, or a secretary, or internet at home, or a different business.
No ideas for alternatives… I was a peek “early adopter” and am still following their company news blog, they’ve been shipping new peeks out as quickly as they can to all the people with older ones. I stopped using them a long time ago for this same reason, it was just too unpredictable of when it was going to be reliable.
If you search for “peek blog” you can find their blog, I don’t think it’s linked to from their main site. They’re based in NYC and are very nice, if you’re local, stop in and they should replace it on the spot.
chad pami:
Thank you for responding to my question on how to type hebrew. I actually have not clicked on that thread, nor on the hakaras hatov in the CR thread.
I have great sympathy for your son in law who is trying to earn a living and does not want to have internet. It is very kind of you to volunteer your time to read and respond to his emails. He is lucky to have a mother? in law like you.
Thanks chad pami,
Noachides are very careful not to name “clergy” or anything like that, we would never want to be considered a religion as that could be avodah zarah, we follow the G-d of Torah and the laws laid out for gentiles. We can take on other mitzvot as we see fit as long as we realize it’s not a requirement for us and if we do it properly (Rambam).
There are certainly some gentiles who are “teachers”, I’ve heard people call them “Moreinu” but that’s as close to a title as a gentile gets. But really, 95% of the learning I do are under Orthodox Rabbis (mostly online), I have a Rabbi about an hour away from me that I can go to for more personal matters if needed and we’re invited to attend services whenever we wish.
Good luck with the peek, hopefully you receive it soon!
hey i never heard of a peek device, but sounds interesting- e-mail only? pretty cool
“How did he sense that my SIL is a chasidisher yungerman mit ganzrn lvish curled peyos etc?”
chad – when quickly scanning this post, SIL popped off the page and for a moment I interpreted that as meaning sister-in-law. I then read the rest of it and thought that perhaps she should see an endocrinologist if she has payot. Then in dawned on me “son-in-law). Thanks for giving me my morning laugh.
Right, that’s why I wrote “mother?”. I didn’t know if you are a man or woman. I guessed woman, apparently incorrectly.
