FreeCalypso on Mot C139 back on the agenda

For me there is an elephant in this room. That is that however successful you are in your laudable endeavour (by which I mean doing something openly that is only "supposed" to be done as the secret of a big corporation) the end result is still a spy in the user's pocket.

Under current conditions I no longer carry any sort of phone with me when I leave the house and I try as much as possible to speak face to face with people, drop notes through their door or else use email (and I do realize that is not unproblematic). I'd probably buy another C139 (the one I used before was stolen), but as you probably remember, I don't have the sort of development skills your project needs so I'd only be a tester and very occasional user.

Best wishes
