Allow me to introduce you to something called Presto Mail Service. At its heart, it is a printer. But unlike other printer type devices, this one has nothing to do with a computer and is a standalone means of loved ones keeping in touch with nothing more than someone to administer their Presto account and a connection to a phone line.

The target market is clearly those who are not comfortable with technology, but are also frustrated convincing others in their family to pick up a pen and write to them the old fashion way. Is anyone enjoying this? Yes, my 90+ year old grandmother LOVES this device. For a variety of reasons, getting online with a computer or MSNTV was not going to happen, so this turned out to be a huge hit as my relatives opted to give this device a shot to see how my grandmother would respond to it.

It’s comical as my mom and I were skeptical as to the value of something that really seemed to be little more than a money burning machine what with the cost of ink and paper these days. But we both stand corrected as clearly, there are those out there who are finding the Presto Mail Service to be a fantastic way to stay in touch with loved ones. It’s one way communication simplicity is what appears to make it such a great fit. Definitely worth checking out for anyone in your family that is wanting to hear from loved ones more.
