Imagine you and your 89 year-old grandfather sharing e-mails!!! A company by the name of Presto Services Inc. is offering technology that allows people without computers to read e-mails.
How Does it work? First someone orders Presto's color printer (It could be done online and also can be ordered by phone.). The "Printing Mailbox" printer is custom-made for Presto by Hewlett-Packard Co. It is simplified so it has just a few buttons -- including volume controls, since the printer chimes when it has delivered something.
The printer has to be plugged into an outlet and an active phone jack, and fed with the ink cartridge and plain white paper.
Either before or after the printer is running, the Web-connected friend or relative uses Presto's Web site to activate the recipient's service and goooooo!. In addition to e-mail, Presto can deliver newspaper columns, recipes and puzzles.
The price goes for $100 for the printer, plus $10 a month or $100 a year for the e-mail service. The only bad news is that Presto is one-way: Recipients get printed e-mails but can't reply back.
