Hi all,
I run with a volunteer fire company and am setting up an iMac to be used for web-based call entry (when they get back, they type all the details in and it gets filed with the state).
A second function that I'd like to have this computer do is to display the address of the fire call that members are responding to. This may sound difficult, but I have it down to this:
The county will send a real-time email out every time they dispatch us with the body of the message as the address and a short description of the call.
So I will set up an email account with a complicated name (so it doesn't get spammed too bad).
The part I need help with is figuring out HOW to make an email show up full screen (preferably black background with white text) - almost like a screen saver where the last email will stay up unless somebody actually uses the computer... and when it times out, the last email comes up again. When a new one is received, it needs to automatically refresh. Ideas?
