Presto Printer: easy printing for the elderly

Posted in Printers by Conner Flynn on December 26th, 2007

The Presto Printer

The Presto printer can receive emails and photos without having to be hooked to a computer. Think about it. That makes it a breeze for the elderly to get into the action. Those who are not comfortable with the computer won’t have to go near it. (Everybody knows that computers, like robots, steal old peoples medicine.) The printer comes with a $10 per month service, even though the service doesn’t seem to cover the internet connection.

It’s sort of like an Email to fax setup. After setting it up you can even SPAM-filter incoming messages. All you need is a regular phone line. It sells for about $150. All in all that’s not alot to pay to keep the elderly or computer-shy informed and be able to send them photos and emails. Grandma will be happy because she gets neat pictures through the magic box and Grandpa’s ears will be happy because she’s occupied and won’t nag him about watching TV all day. Everybody wins. I know a few people who will be getting this one next Christmas.
