For this post, I asked someone who didn&rsquo;t know anything about Presto to read about it and write down what they thought the value was. This provided an &ldquo;outsiders&rdquo; perspective that is uncolored by actual use of the product, or from any pressure to write a review than panders to a particular audience. I found it interesting and hope you like it. Thanks to the author (who asked to remain anonymous) &mdash; Peter Radsliff, CEO, Presto Services Inc. &ldquo; In today&rsquo;s internet savvy world everything is done digitally including updating family members. But what about family members who don&rsquo;t want to mess with email, can't afford a computer or simply do not want one? Postal offices are quickly fading and a phone call can only provide so much. ???It certainly can&rsquo;t allow your loved ones to watch as your family grows.

A device that prints out messages and photo attachments sent via email, that are beautifully formatted, at high resolution, in full color????without being connected to a computer or the Internet! And with that single sheet of paper emerging from the HP Printing Mailbox, Presto computerless email was born.

My Apple journey started in 1983. I was taking one of my final courses at San Francisco State University learning how to program in Basic. I created a program that was aimed at teaching very young children the difference between interacting with a keyboard and just mashing all of the keys. My goal was to complete this final course and graduate with my B.A. in Industrial Arts. But what resulted was a lifelong fascination with technology, its uses, and misuses. Part of that class experience resulted in my accidentally erasing all 4,000 lines of my newly finished code by using the wrong DOS command. As painful as it was to spend three hours retyping all 4,000 lines referencing a paper printout, not graduating by failing my last class would have been worse. I counted myself lucky, but learned an important lesson the hard way about the benefits of good user interface.??

Title: Lifestyle changes may cut Alzheimer's risk From: Agence France-Presse Re: Relatively simple lifestyle changes such as increasing physical activity and quitting smoking could have a dramatic impact on the number of Alzheimer's cases over time Title: In old age, illness and dying can be postponed From: NPR Re: Research in aging shows that once people reach a certain age, rates of disease, disability and death start to decline.<div><a href="http://www.prestoplace.com/blog/entry/27940/-Don-t-Miss...-No.-3-in-a-Series-Lotsa-aging-info-for-the-family/">[Read more]</div> News, Rumors and Discussion Mon, 29 Aug 2011 18:48:00 GMT Community Headlines http://www.prestoplace.com/blog/entry/27940/-Don-t-Miss...-No.-3-in-a-Series-Lotsa-aging-info-for-the-family/#discussion?src=category_rss http://www.prestoplace.com/blog/entry/27940/-Don-t-Miss...-No.-3-in-a-Series-Lotsa-aging-info-for-the-family/?src=category_rss http://www.prestoplace.com/blog/entry/27939/Easy-Email-Machine-The-Top-Ten-Reasons-for-Presto./?src=category_rss There is an extremely helpful communications tool for family members who make decisions about the support and care of their aging parents and who need a simple, convenient, and cost-effective way to communicate with them. It&rsquo;s called &ldquo; Presto &rdquo; and it consists of a specially designed printer and online service that work together to bridge the technology gap and redefine the way families can share their lives, conversations, and information. And it does this while allowing everyone to still use the methods of communication each one prefers. Here are the top ten reasons Presto has proven to improve the lives of parents or grandparents and all of their family members, as well. 10. Presto makes it easy to gamble on its claims. With a 60-day no-risk guarantee, you can &ldquo;bet&rdquo; that your parents or grandparents will love it, and if they don&rsquo;t you can send it back for a full refund. 9. Presto is inexpensive. At only $14.99 a month (plus a low one-time cost for the Presto Printing Mailbox), Presto is WAY cheaper per month than adding broadband Internet, plus there are no costs or hassles with paying for a computer or additional software. 8.
