Website of the Month
Sunnygram.com is
rewriting the hare/tortoise tale. IT combines email and snail mail to
deliver correspondence and photos to those who sun computers. For
$9.95 a month, computer free email is provided to technophobes, transforming
digital messages and photos into a newsletter delivered to the recipient's mail
box. It can fill the gap between phone calls and visits.
