Recently, I was fortunate enough to be able to get hands-on with both of these watches at a local NHL Jersey on sale AD. A few weeks ago I shared my experience with the Tribute to Deep Sea and now it's the Ultra Thin's turn. The Reverso Ultra Thin has been produced in a regular production model in steel that sports a black dial, and a limited edition of 500 in pink gold with a silvered dial and applied gold plated hour-markers and numerals. It was the latter that I had the opportunity to spend some time with. The first thing to note about this watch is, of course, its thickness. The case is a mere 7.2mm thick, 46mm long and 27.5mm wide. Both new Reverso Ultra Thin models feature Jaeger-LeCoultre's Calibre 822 manual wind movement. Calibre 822 beats at 21,600vph, contains 21 jewels, and is made of 134 parts. It is water-resistant to 3 bar and has a...<div><a href="http://www.prestoplace.com/forum/thread/23975/Hands-on-with-the-Jaeger-LeCoultre-Reverso-Ultra-Thin-.../">[Read more]</div> Staying in Touch Sat, 26 Nov 2011 20:11:52 GMT auror7qdf http://www.prestoplace.com/forum/thread/23975/Hands-on-with-the-Jaeger-LeCoultre-Reverso-Ultra-Thin-.../#discussion?src=category_rss http://www.prestoplace.com/forum/thread/23975/Hands-on-with-the-Jaeger-LeCoultre-Reverso-Ultra-Thin-.../?src=category_rss http://www.prestoplace.com/forum/thread/23395/XAF-CHF/?src=category_rss EUROPE Euro Swiss Franc Czech Koruna Danish Krone Pound Sterling Hungarian Forint Icelandic Krona Latvian Lats Lithuanian Litas Norwegian Krone Polish Zloty Romanian Leu Russian Rouble Swedish Krona Ukraine Hryvnia NORTH AMERICA Barbadian Dollar Canadian Dollar Jamaican Dollar Mexican Peso Panamanian Balboa United Men Shoes States Dollar ASIA Chinese Yuan Hong Kong Dollar Indonesian Rupiah Indian Rupee Japanese Yen South Korean Won Sri Lankan Rupee Malaysian Ringgit Nepalese Rupee Philippine Peso Pakistani Rupee Singapore Dollar Thai Baht Turkish New Lira Vietnamese Dong Taiwanese Dollar MIDDLE EAST Arab Emirates Dirham Bahraini Dinar Israeli Sheqel Jordanian Dinar Kuwaiti Dinar Lebanese Pound Omani Rial Qatari Riyal Saudi Riyal SOUTH AMERICA Argentinian Peso Brazilian Real Chilean Peso Venezuelan Bolivar East Caribbean Dollar Bolivian Boliviano Colombian Peso Uruguayan Peso Peru Nuevo Sol OCEANIA Australian Dollar New Zealand Dollar AFRICA Egyptian Pound Kenyan Shilling Moroccan Dirham Namibian Dollar Nigerian Men Footwear Naira South African Rand Central African CFA West African CFA<div><a href="http://www.prestoplace.com/forum/thread/23395/XAF-CHF/">[Read more]</div> Staying in Touch Fri, 25 Nov 2011 06:42:00 GMT sarac6gyjor http://www.prestoplace.com/forum/thread/23395/XAF-CHF/#discussion?src=category_rss http://www.prestoplace.com/forum/thread/23395/XAF-CHF/?src=category_rss http://www.prestoplace.com/blog/entry/11147/My-Favorite-Messages/?src=category_rss <img align="right" hspace="10" src="http://www.prestoplace.com/imagelib/contentitem/11147/8b5644ba4a76476f-1f3c842b-11ec4bf305c-5e-462097755.jpg">A PrestoPlace member suggested that members share ideas for Presto Mail messages they send to their Presto users. Here are my favorite types of messages that I use with my own family: MEDICATION REMINDERS Sit down with your Presto user and make a list of what medication they are taking and when they take it. Also take digital photos of the bottles and individual pills. Then set up a recurring reminder for the whole list, or for specific days (depending on the schedule), so that they have a paper reminder. This may be intrusive or overkill if the Presto user is young enough, but as they age, this can be a tremendous help. EXTENDED FAMILY BIRTHDAYS I set an annually recurring reminder using PrestoConnect for all of the member of my extended family which includes a photo of the birthday boy/girl and a message reminding Grandparents of the date. EXTENDED FAMILY CONTACT LIST My family keeps an Excel Spreadsheet that has the full contact information of everyone in the immediate extended family (six kids & their spouses and 14 grandkids). We update this periodically and send it around to everyone.

I followed your GREAT email tip re setting up a google gmail calendar for the daily events at my 83 year old mother's Assisted Living residence, so she would not miss any activities she enjoys, but can't remember without written reminders. I set up the original google calendar up under the same gmail address as is shown under the Presto Account Manager (Me) but this gmail account is set up under my mother's name, not mine. I had a Daily Agenda email early in the morning, and individual event email notifications two hours prior to the event successfully coming into this gmail account, as scheduled, for several days. I then went into this original gmail account (under which the calendar was created) and through the &quot;Manage Calendar&quot; area ADDED my mother's emailaddress@presto.com to SHARE the original calendar as &quot; See all event notifications .&quot; I then went to Presto.com and added the original calendar gmail address to the Friends List, under my mother's name this time. I also added the following &quot;Friend&quot; as instructed: calendar-notification@google.com. So now both the gmail address for the original google calendar and the calendar-notification show...<div><a href="http://www.prestoplace.com/forum/thread/10722/Unable-to-get-Presto-to-print-out-Agenda-Email-Notifications-for-Gmail-Calendar/">[Read more]</div> Staying in Touch Wed, 16 Jul 2008 06:13:26 GMT SharonPatrick http://www.prestoplace.com/forum/thread/10722/Unable-to-get-Presto-to-print-out-Agenda-Email-Notifications-for-Gmail-Calendar/#discussion?src=category_rss http://www.prestoplace.com/forum/thread/10722/Unable-to-get-Presto-to-print-out-Agenda-Email-Notifications-for-Gmail-Calendar/?src=category_rss http://www.prestoplace.com/article/10150/Taking-Presto-Friendly-Pictures/?src=category_rss <img align="right" hspace="10" src="http://www.prestoplace.com/imagelib/contentitem/10150/10150.jpg">So you&rsquo;re using Presto to share your photographic memories with your loved ones. Now it&rsquo;s time to consider some tips and tricks to get the most out of this slick setup. If you&rsquo;re wondering what you can do to make your Presto prints look their absolute best, then this article's for you. We&rsquo;ll reveal some easy tips and tricks to improve your photography and make your Presto prints shine. File Suggestions Before we dive into photography tips, let&rsquo;s review a few rules about the files you can print with Presto. Presto supports JPEG, GIF, TIFF, and BMP image files, so make sure your pictures are saved in one of these formats. If you use the RAW mode on your digital camera (good for you!), you&rsquo;ll need to convert the RAW files before you send them. What about resolution? We ran a number of tests using images at different resolutions and studied the output. We found that at around 1800 x 1200 (roughly two megapixels), prints were completely smooth and were indistinguishable from higher resolution images. The prints were passable at lower resolutions, but they definitely started to show some pixilation. For example, diagonal lines took on a jagged stair-step look...<div><a href="http://www.prestoplace.com/article/10150/Taking-Presto-Friendly-Pictures/">[Read more]</div> Sending and Checking Mail Staying in Touch Tue, 30 Oct 2007 14:45:31 GMT Chris Miller http://www.prestoplace.com/article/10150/Taking-Presto-Friendly-Pictures/?textpage=2#discussion?src=category_rss http://www.prestoplace.com/article/10150/Taking-Presto-Friendly-Pictures/?src=category_rss http://www.prestoplace.com/blog/entry/10131/TIP--Presto-Styles/?src=category_rss <img align="right" hspace="10" src="http://www.prestoplace.com/imagelib/contentitem/10131/10131.jpg">Did you know that people who send email to Presto owners can make them look as beautiful as a greeting card? All you have to do is include a special code in the subject line of your email (which doesn't print) and "Presto!" your email will be printed with a seasonal theme, or with birthday wishes, or as a calendar, etc. You can find all of these Presto Styles listed in the "styles" section of PrestoPlace. Or, just look at this cheat sheet presented below. Take note, to invoke a Presto Style, you must put the name of the style in brackets, like this: "[style name]", and, you must spell it exactly. What I do is print this style cheat sheet on a small card and I carry it in my wallet. Then, I can remember what to use when I send my Mother-in-Law Presto Mail from my email-enabled cell phone.

My hope for the Presto Service is to be able to send her daily messages that will keep her mind active, and I believe that this service can help. She has already solved a number of the daily word jumble puzzles, and I would like to see other &quot;mental exercise games&quot; targeted at various levels that we could try... This is on top of the benefit that I can send her DAILY personal notes with family photos which helps to keep her recognition faculties alert... I must say, though, I am deeply disappointed that the HP Mailbox only holds 50 pages of paper while the ink cartridge says it is capable of printing 300-plus pages. How much more would it have cost to have designed the device with a 1-ream paper capacity?... My fear is that my mother will not be able to load new paper every week or every other week, and that may be the show-stopper here. If anyone develops an &quot;engineering hack&quot; that will expand the paper capacity, please post details!

They are Depression Babies both 80+ and they were not interested in using a computer, but Presto is working perfectly for them. The family consists of 8 adult children and 14 grandkids (mostly young adults) plus all of the spouses, boyfriends, girlfriends etc, all of whom are widely spreadout within the US, all on-line. We are all trying to send at least one note a week to them via Presto.... The family utilizes Yahoo Groups to manage a family focused email list, originally established to communicate effectively during a serious illness that Mom went through. The mail list has morphed to a sharing and gathering planning forum. We are sharing birthday, prom and graduation pictures etc as well as everyone posts pictures of their Christmas trees, which is always fun. There are also Birthday and anniversary calendar reminders. With presto we have now added Mom and Dad to the mail list and they are now sharing in all this family news. Working fantastically!!!!!! The longer term hope is that we will eventually move them to real email so that they could reply.
