[five stars] Christmas is coming up- Best senior gift EVER!!!, December 4, 2011
by S. Johnson "xxp00" (Dallas) 

If you are searching for a holiday gift idea for that senior citizen/baby boomer in your life...THIS IS IT!!!

My mom was always the designated tech-ie...my dad would always had her the cell phone when it rang...she managed the computer and email account...and when we gave him his own laptop to try and bring him into the communication loop....he used it for playing checkers!
Now that my mom is having memory issues he can no longer rely on her to check email and stay in touch with those of us spread all over the country. The kids and grandkids want to share activities and photos and just keep in touch but with time differences its difficult to make a phone call.. and he sometimes it's difficult for him to hear a call made from a cell phone or from inside a car with road noise. BUT this little gadgit solves all those challenges! I was able to set up a new email address for dad and moniter the address book of who can email him (this equals NO SPAM or unsolicited email!) I was able to set up 1-5 predetermined times a day when his email or messages from us will be printed out on his PRESTO printer. Whatever is convenient for him.

He can look forward to walking by his PRESTO printer on his way to breakfast and at lunch and or dinner and picking up his email to read and share with my mom over mealtime or to show friends and neighbors the latest pictures they received!

Now, for example, I can send them my travel schedule and know that they have a hard copy to refer to. They always know how to reach me as my contact phone number prints out at the bottom of each email from me so if they want to respond they don't have to look up my number!!! It's right there on the email!!!

This is a really nice feature of the PRESTO machine...as they are always getting my cell phone number mixed up with my daughters and my brothers and my husbands...etc....but NOW the contact number of the sender of the email prints out with the message so they can easily respond with a call if they need to!

The monthly subscription fee is nominal compared to the data plan I was paying for on the iPhone they never really learned to use.
Now I can get a confirmation email that Dad rec'd my email if I choose to. The PRESTO even lets me see how he's doing with supplies like paper and ink so I can arrange for refills went he needs it.

I had some issues with the initial set up of the device and was contacted by the CEO who together with his customer service team, contacted my Dad personally and resovled every problem. I have never experienced this level of customer service with ANY product!
I think the PRESTO email machine is a life changer for my Dad. He really enjoys getting mail 5 times a day! But selfishly...it's a gift for ME! I never have to worry about staying in touch....If I have something to share with him or just want him to know I'm thinking of him...PRESTO! He knows!

Thanks PRESTO for making my life easier!!!!
