Nigel Houghton, SimplicITy’s MD, said: “All our research has shown that the vast majority of people initially only want a computer to send emails, Skype their family, browse the web and write documents, so we start off with a computer that does just that…But, equally importantly, we don’t want to patronise older users: once they grasp the basics, many want to do far more.”
This second version, ‘The SimplicITy Envelope’ will be launched on July 15th with live ‘Skype’ demonstrations of the new interface between Valerie Singleton at the London 50+ show at London’s Olympia and Terry Waite at a St. Monica’s Trust retirement development in Bristol.
