14 DAY TRIAL // Although getting a senior to get accustomed to using a PC is not exactly an easy task, especially if they haven't done this before, that's not stopping KiWi PC from being quite confident that they can get the job done.
In fact, the company has decided to develop a special type of computer running Linux, that senior citizens might quickly get accustomed to using on a daily basis.
Although some of you might say that Linux is not exactly the most friendly operating systems around, even younger people with more experience in the field of computing having some trouble getting accustomed to it, KiWi PC assures us that it will be absolutely perfect, even for users of a certain age.
And that's because Linux will be only the underlying operating system, running a couple of proprietary applications that even the elderly shouldn't have any major problems getting accustomed to.
In fact, the main selling point of the new KiWi PC is represented by its very user-friendly navigation system, featuring a customizable “Me Menu” control app that provides users easy access to their most visited websites and programs straight from the desktop.
It's interesting to note that the system comes pre-loaded with an innovative email application, letting users send and receive messages in a fast and easy manner, regardless of the account they're using, while the “Software Centre” the system comes packed with offers hundreds of free downloadable applications.
Furthermore, in order to mitigate for the fact that many seniors have sight-related problems, the icons and texts are larger to provide increased visual acuity.
Last, but certainly not least, we'll have to mention that the KiWi PC is not even that expensive, given the fact that it's available for a MSRP of around 500 US dollars, making it a prime solution for the specific category of users it targets.
