What computer would you recommend for OLD PEOPLE?

[Hyperblaze]

For folks who want to have a minimum of issues?

Here's my list in descending over.

1) Mac
2) Linux
3) Windows of any variation

I resent Apple, but any idiot can use a Mac - they're very user-friendly.

That's funny, whenever I go to Best Buy and try out the Macs I usually have no idea what I'm doing.

Really? They're not hard to figure out at all. Not quite so many hidden sub-menus as windows.

my mom and dad picked up windows xp a couple years ago, they are still slow doing things on it, but i feel that if i switched them to a mac they would be totally lost. i wish there was a way to get them to learn to type faster!

I would recommend a television set with the channel set to which channel plays the most golf.

I have configured desktops for seniors that have shortcut icons for 95% of user functions. I've found that most seniors do not like to drill down through menus to get to a program.

Does anyone like to do that? And why hasn't microsoft been informed of this?

Here is a quick impression of my dad:

*Stares at keyboard for 15 seconds with outstretched hand hoving above keyboard*
*frustrated* "Double-U....DOUBLE-U-Oh! There it is."

I love the guy, but its hilarious.
