MINEOLA, N.Y., May 20, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Torbay Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:TRBY): The AARP conducts Computer and Technology reviews for their members and post them upon their website. This month's "Hardware Section" features a review of the AirO(2)bic Mouse and Nib Clickless software, together called the Virtually Hands Free(tm) mousing system, which describes the comfort, ease and usage issues that these products seek to address. The review can be read from the link below.
The AARP is a nonprofit, nonpartisan membership organization for people age 50 and over (with 35 million plus members across all States), dedicated to enhancing quality of life for all as they age with positive social change delivering value to members through information, advocacy and service.
This review will now be a resource to the 35 million membership of the AARP. The issue of ease of use for "the Senior Internet Generation" is becoming an area of market focus, as a study by the University of Surrey in the U.K. of users over the age of 55 shows. It cites better web design and more comfort as issues to be addressed. (Adams N., Stubbs D., Woods V. 2005, Psychological barriers to internet usage among older adults in the U.K. Medical Informatics and Internet in Medicine, 30, 1, 3-17.)
Tom Large, President & CEO, stated, "The IT market is developing an awareness of the demands that normal variances, due to aging and dexterity in our case, place on computer users. This awareness is supported and documented in a study commission by Microsoft (link below). We now have our products commended by the Arthritis Foundation for 'Ease of Use' for people with arthritis, a positive review by the AARP and a maturing computer savvy generation. We believe we are poised and ready to provide solutions to this potentially large market sector by the various access routes we are currently investigating."
