I have an elderly relative who is having real trouble trying to
learn how to use a iPad. Over about five years, she got to be able
to write a monthly newsletter for the Ratepayers Association and do
email on a Mac, but still had trouble browsing the web or doing
anything more complicated. She can do economic tradeoffs in her
head, but has no intuition about computers.<br>
<br>
Her iMac died, and she tried an iPad, but is having <i>even more
trouble</i> than with the mac!<br>
<br>
The mention of thin clients here made me wonder: would she be better
just buying a new mac, or are there netbooks or thin clients that
would seem "just like the mac with different icons" ?<br>
