We designed the WOW! Computer for seniors and baby boomers with little or no experience using computers. We soon realized that the WOW! Computer appealed to many people who wanted a simple, easy-to-use computer.

No. The WOW! Computer runs on a Linux operating system we’ve customized to support our touchscreen capabilities. We chose Linux to avoid frequent problems with viruses and to provide a more secure, problem-free computer environment. Linux has been developed over the last 20 years by numerous companies and currently runs on millions of computers. In fact, about 60% of all internet servers run Linux.

No. The WOW! Computer is designed as a family or personal computer. We pre-install a broad set of popular and necessary applications including email, web browsing, photos, video phone, games, music & video playing and a digital picture frame screensaver. Better still, we include free software updates for life at no extra cost. Our goal is to provide a truly easy, hassle-free computer that is simple to use and maintain. That goal simply isn’t possible if we allow thousands of different applications to be installed as with standard computers.

Generally, Yes. The WOW! Computer is designed to work with a high-speed internet connection. It will operate without a high-speed internet connection; however, many features depend on a high-speed connection to work their best. For example, email and web browsing would be noticeably slower and video chat may be too choppy to enjoy.

Yes. The required hardware and software to pick up a wireless network signal (also called “wi-fi”) are built into your WOW! Computer.

A lot. Almost everything a standard computer can do on the Internet also can be done with your WOW! Computer. Many customers love to read the newspaper in large print, check the weather, get driving directions, go shopping online, use the many services available on sites like Yahoo and Google and learn about topics that interest them.

Yes. Your WOW! Computer has the necessary software pre-installed to handle all of these file types.

The WOW! Computer has an integrated word processor that lets you write, edit, save and print your own text documents. It also includes software for spreadsheets and slide presentations. Most recent HP printers will work with your WOW! Computer—just plug the USB cable from your printer into the WOW! Computer.

Yes. You can listen to any of the thousands of radio stations available on the internet. Websites such as www.radio.com offer a broad selection across many types of programming. Note the WOW! Computer is not compatible with Apple’s iTunes service.

Yes. You can watch internet video from YouTube, Hulu and many other websites. (Hulu is a collection of thousands of TV shows, movies and other programs).

You can upload, print and share photos from a digital camera via any of the six built-in USB ports.

Yes. You can send your digital photos to friends & family through email as file attachments.

The Video Chat feature uses Skype’s latest technology. It is compatible with almost all computers that have a webcam. The person you want to call must have a webcam and a video chat account and be one of your contacts.

All you need is high-speed internet access and your new WOW! Computer. It comes with a webcam, microphone, speakers and Skype video chat software all built in.

No. The WOW Video Chat feature does not support calls to regular phone numbers. Note that Skype is free for all calls directly between two computers (also called Skype to Skype calls).

One of the many benefits of using the Linux-based operating platform is that it is highly secure. Most computer viruses out there are targeted at computers running Windows and as such cannot infect computers running a Linux operating system (like your WOW! Computer). We provide “server side” virus protection on our end for an extra measure of safety and security.

Every WOW! Computer comes with 30 days of VIP Support at no cost. This includes ongoing personal help from our USA-based support staff with how to use your WOW! Computer’s many functions, technical issues, automatic backup of your files and settings and several other benefits. Unlimited use of VIP Support is only $9.95/month.

A Tech Buddy is a friend or family member who wants to help you use your WOW! Computer. After you give them the User Name and Password you create for them, they can log into our Tech Buddy website and access your WOW! Computer from their own computer. They can see and control your screen from their computer and help you with whatever question or problem you have. You’ll even be able to watch what happens on your screen! This also is how our VIP Support staff will teach you if you ask them to show you how to do something.

The WOW! Computer comes with a 30-day, 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed return policy, 30-day unlimited VIP Support, and a one-year hardware warranty.
