LAUSANNE, Switzerland (PRWEB) June 6, 2004 -- FamilyMail Inc. has released FamilyMail v.8.1, an easy-to-use Windows 98/Me/NT4/2000/XP email program that lets inexperienced computer users exchange emails with their loved ones. By placing a user-friendly interface on top of Windows, FamilyMail lets seniors and other first-time computer users become emailers immediately, without having to learn even the basics of computer literacy.

Many senior citizens avoid learning to use a computer because they're overwhelmed by the complexities. FamilyMail allows these people to cross the digital divide and stay in contact with the younger generations. Grandparents and great-grandparents can converse with their families, and exchange photos and messages easily.

The user-friendliness of the FamilyMail program was developed after thorough research and studies carried out with non-computer users. The creation of the program took into account a large array of factors, ranging from their computer perception and their hand-eye coordination, to their understanding of technical language. The interface has none of the obscure and little-used options that can only distract and frighten computerphobes. FamilyMail's innovative design won the prestigious European Gold Seal of Excellence at CeBit 2004, and also earned it a four-cow rating at Tucows.

FamilyMail is designed to be installed and set up by family members or friends with average computer skills. The program runs easily on the millions of computers worldwide that are collecting dust in closets because they're not powerful enough for the younger generation. Once installed, the computer runs FamilyMail automatically. The program bypasses confusing Windows logon procedures, and simply dials the Internet and downloads email. Text and pictures are loaded automatically, and replying to emails couldn't be simpler.

FamilyMail provides the training wheels for our grandparents' first computer adventure. After using the program successfully to exchange thoughts and pictures with family and friends, many of them will graduate to use more full-featured computer software.

FamilyMail v.8.1 runs under Windows 98/Me/NT4/2000/XP, is delivered with English, German, and French interfaces, and may be purchased securely online for $49.95(US) at http://www.familymail.com.
