We get lots of comments from Presto users who at first say, "I don't need email" followed after someone like you "forces" it on them by the users saying, "Presto is the greatest gift I have ever received." We hear this as a common theme. And it makes sense. "Email" sounds scary, especially to someone who is not conversant with computers. But as those of us who use email know, it is merely a tool, sometimes helpful, sometimes burdensome...but always convenient.
The big "secret" is that Presto is really MOST useful to you and your siblings (and the grandkids) who now can use email as a tool to connect with Mom and Dad. Once everyone knows that they can use their email-capable cell phones, laptops and PCs to make it easy to include grandma and grandpa in family chain letters, they will find themselves connecting more often, with much less hassle.
So, I think you will find your siblings are okay with the purchase once they find out how convenient Presto is for them, too. Be sure to stress that Mom and Dad are protected from junk mail and spam.
You may also find that Mom and Dad can handle the ink and paper replenishment as well. HP did a great job engineering the Printing Mailbox to be extremely easy to set up and replenish. And you can monitor ink and paper usage from the Presto account manager web site.
Lastly, if you purchase from Presto.com, we offer a 60-day money back guarantee, so there is little risk.
