   -------------------------------------------                     
Pronto Mail Family Edition puts the power of Email in the hands of 
everyone in the family: Everyone gets to share the same Email address while 
maintaining full privacy. Kids get their own animated multimedia interface, 
enabling them to compose and send video, audio, picture messages, and even 
animated greeting cards. On-line voice Help is provided by a friendly 
animated bear. Adults get a professional, industry-strength Email 
application, based on PC Magazine's award winning Pronto 96, including voice 
messaging support and built-in spell checkers.
