Did you know that more than half of Americans over the age of 65 don't have access to the Internet, according to a Pew Internet and American Life Study in 2008? The Presto Printing Mailbox helps you and your "wired" family keep in touch with your loved ones, even if they're not in cyberspace! Launched in 2006, the mailbox has been helping people stay close for years - but today, Presto Services Inc. announced a huge enhancement to the Presto Service, called "Presto Connect."

A great number of things can be controlled from the new PrestoConnect service, including pre-scheduled message delivery, message queue management and feedback, event reminders, to-do lists, and more!

BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE SO FAR WITH MY 96 YEAR OLD MOTHER IN MINNEAPOLIS WITH HER PRESTO AND ME AS THE MANAGER IN DENVER, IS OUT OF PAPER MESSAGES. HER MACHINE SHOWS THAT SHE HAS PAPER AND THE LIGHT IS NOT BLINKING AND YET IT PREVENTS THE MACHINE FROM CALLING IN FOR MESSAGES. WHEN I GO TO THE WEB SITE, IT TELLS ME THAT THE MACHINE REPORTED OUT OF PAPER AT LAST CALL WHICH MAYBE WAS DAYS AGO. PLEASE HELP ME. JOHN SKALET
