My 80 year old dad is SO happy with the daily crossword subscription! It seems that some days the Presto system decides not to send these subscriptions (no satisfactory answer from Presto Customer Service other than the server gets backed up....hmmmmm....). Dad always seems to call me and wants to know "if I'm paying for the crosswords because, dang it, I'm not getting my money's worth!" So.....other than the occasional missed puzzle, it's a pretty good service. It would be nice, however, if the Customer Service guys could send the daily puzzle to those subscribers who didn't receive it that day (whatever the reason may be.)
Get a Little of That 'Online' Feeling With Presto Newsstand
Categories: Presto Service Daily Deliveries
"...Presto has even more tricks up their sleeves to bring their offline customers a little bit of what "being online" has to offer with their Presto Newsstand feature."
These days, those of us who are connected to the World Wide Web have already forgotten what life was like without it. You remember those days, right? Think about when you had to look up an unknown word in the dictionary for its meaning instead of typing it into Google, pickup a newspaper to play a crossword puzzle (or even get news for that matter), look for TV listings in a paper book on the coffee table, or having to write letters once a year to communicate with far away family... almost seems barbaric, especially to those of us who rely on the Internet for everything.
Presto certainly has a great solution to keep those long-lost parents or offline relatives connected to the on goings of the extended family, and if that's all the Presto Service ever did, it would be worth its weight in gold. Yet, I was surprised that Presto has even more tricks up their sleeves to bring their offline customers a little bit of what "being online" has to offer with their Presto Newsstand feature.
With a few clicks in the Presto account, the HP Printing Mailbox can be a valuable source of articles, recipes, puzzles, games, and more from sources like the Wall Street Journal, Better Homes and Gardens, and Tribune Publishing. Best of all, these are included with the Presto service at no extra charge, and I'm sure whoever relies on Presto can find something that will brighten their day in their mailbox every day of the week.
