Grandpa dislikes technology but loves Presto's Mailbox [Posted on 2008-07-16]
I wanted to find a way to easily communicate with my grandpa, and I found this "mailbox" by Presto. At first I thought it'd be for the younger generation of grandparents (my grandpa's 86), but I read some reviews and found that many older grandparents liked it. When I first gave it to Grandpa, he had some reservations about it. But in the days that followed, he would tell me how much he enjoyed receiving "e-mails" from me. The best part is that I am easily able to send him pictures as well. While the photos are simply on white computer paper, they are still good enough quality that he can hang them up on his refrigerator to show his friends. Presto's mailbox has made communicating with my grandpa so simple and quick!
Changed Mom's life in a really nice way [Posted on 2008-07-18]
I had heard of the product before, but had my doubts - about the ease of use, but more about whether my 78 year old mother would use it at all. She had resisted getting anything that had the word email connected to it, whether a PC or even the service that is used on the TV, like some of her peers had. I thought if I purchased it, it would sit in a box in the garage - and who else in my large family would want such a thing.
Then my mother moved into a house not far from my sister, and my sister said she would hook it up if I sent it, which is what happened. Well, I have to say, it was extremely easy to set up on both ends. I live across the country, so I set up the web end of it with allowed email addresses and my sister was impressed that the printer set up was so quick and simple. 15 minutes max.
I have it set up to check email early morning, mid morning, noon, afternoon and evening. Now my mother goes into the room several times a day to check for email and really looks forward to hearing from people. It is very easy to keep her in the loop when emailing family members and she knows what is going on all the time as we exchange emails. It is a highlight of her day.
I very much recommend this product for anyone who wants another way to keep an elderly - or disabled - person in the loop. And even though I talk to her every week on the phone, this is one more way to keep in touch. The fact that it also prints photos attached or embedded is also very nice. And the yearly cost - printer, monthly service and ink is extremely reasonable given the benefit. I wish I had gotten it for her sooner.
Perfect for Aged Looking to Avoid Retirement [Posted on 2008-07-30]
I got this for elderly friend who is extremely busy campaigning to get a major promotion. Unfortunately, he had no way to get connected with anyone under 30 years old. Now, despite being computer illiterate and having visited the internet for the first time only last week, he's able to stay in the loop on important messages. For example, thanks to a timely e-mail he was reminded that Czechoslovakia hasn't existed since 1993 just before he made an embarrassing gaffe. The Presto Mailbox may very well keep his career from stalling out like a beat up clunker in the middle of the desert!
My Dad loves it [Posted on 2008-07-31]
I gave this gift to my father who doesn't wish to get a computer. This allows members of the family across the country to sent him and my mother emails now. They love it! Great Product!
Great for Grandma [Posted on 2008-08-07]
This product is so great for people who missed the computer generation. Grandma is loving receiving e-mails and photos from her children and grandchildren.
