Using Templates With Your Presto

Here at PrestoPlace, we've decided to take it a step further and give Presto lovers a chance to share their favorite "templates" for use with Presto.

We've started off with a few simple and very useful designs of our own:  an emergency contact list and a shopping list, both in Microsoft Word format.

Head on over to our downloads area to check them out and download for yourself.  Once you get them on your computer, you can edit them in Microsoft Word, and if you don't have Word, any word processor that can open .DOC files should work fine (such as OpenOffice, which is a free download.)

I'm not sure about you, but we find that it's always difficult to shop for our grandparents for the holidays.  Fact is, a lot of elderly folks really aren't into all the new stuff you can get; they're not out Black Friday shopping, and they just don't need an iPod or a new toaster.

Usually, when you ask your grandparents (or other elderly relatives) what they want for Christmas, you often get the answer... "I just want to see my family."  Of course, this is usually a free thing, so it still leaves the dilemma of what to buy!

This is where the Presto Printing Mailbox steps in.  Here's some great reasons why Presto is a better gift than ever for your loved ones this year.

#1.  Presto Gives The Gift of Family

This time, when your grandparents only ask for "you" for the holidays... give them a Presto.  In essence, you'll be giving them EVERYBODY, since your whole family can keep in touch easily using the Presto.

The PrestoPlace Team wanted to be the first to welcome attendees at the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show to the community. If you're visiting the site from the show, we welcome you, want you to know that we're excited about everything happening at CES this year, including the growing proliferation of consumer electronics gadgets among people from all walks of life. As you know, Presto is committed to helping even the elderly and non-tech-savvy among us not get left behind, with the revolutionary Presto, and PrestoPlace is committed to bringing you the best, latest and most helpful information about the Presto and the people who use it on the web.
