[E3-hacking] Fw: I found Cliff Lawson old website about Amstrad

Sun Apr 7 13:21:34 BST 2019

I Need your help..?
Can someone who knows Cliff contact him to ask how the Amstrad Emailer deactivates itself or locks its features please…? I don’t see why you wouldn’t tell us now the device is obsolete, I did send a message on Twitter but no reply, that’s probably because he don’t know me, I need to know how it locks and how it does it, if we know then we might be able to find a way to activate, unlock them.

Has anyone managed to backed up there NAND from the E3,if so did you backup it when the Emailer was activated, if yes to both please can you shear it, I want to test and see if I can writing over my NAND with it, and how did you do it, there is no walkthrough on explaining on how to do this with pblq..?

Sky took over Amstrad in 2007 for 125 million, they got full control of it in 2010, (Sky removed the name Amstrad of they Sky+HD boxes and replaced it with the name Sky in 2010)that why they closed the Emailer service in 2011,they closed it because the phone numbers were from BT and Sky would have of paid BT to keep them(Amstrad did a deal with BT in 2000 with the first E1, its even had BT on the device), all they wanted was the satellite box part of Amstrad, that's how they made Sky Q (they brought it in-house so they could make them themselves) and Now TV, they never existed before and would not exist if they didn’t buy Amstrad. I wonder if Cliff works for Sky now or moved on. Amstrad exists only in name now, it don’t make or build anything, its the so Sky can hold on to what copyright Amstrad has like the copyright to the name and likeness of the ZX Spectrum, so when the ZX Spectrum Vega was made Retro Computer LTD had to pay Sky for the copyright to use its name and likeness.

”Yes I know a lot about Amstrad and the Emailer,I had to,to add stuff to the Amstrad and Emailer Wikipedia pages.. 😊 I have all 3 manualsE1,E3,E2(Shame they gone now from the Amstrad site, the links are there to the PDFs but they are dead because they go to Amstrad’s download site but that's been taken down by Sky,well Amserve.co.uk don’t work no more so it only time before Amstrad main site disappears) and 3 Emailers one E3 and 2 E2 Plusesssss.. lol. One of my Plus has the Configuration Change on it, I got that last year same as my E3, from eBay, they cost me £12 each with P+P,the other don’t work well it does but deactivated but keeping it and I got that in 2004, My mum bought for me before she died, she died 3 months later in October.”

Have a nice day..

The first logician says "I don't know."
The second logician says "I don't know."
The third logician says "Yes!"
