I love having access to the worldwide web, and I know my older (nearly 72 year old) Aunt would love it, too, but regular computers seem to be a little overwhelming. She's had them, but they can be confusing, and then she just gives up. Too many bells and whistles when all you want is email access and web surfing capability. BUT, perhaps, no more. I just read this interesting story in the News Tribune about SeniorPC created by Hewlett-Packard and offered through Microsoft (in both desktop and laptop versions).Priced at under $1300 (plus any monthly ISP cost) this would be a great option for my Aunt. It might be a great option for older parents with Mother's Day and Father's Day not too far off -- especially if siblings pool their gift funds. A great way to give the more tech-phobic folks in your life easy access to email, photos, news and great shopping sites. :) Hint, hint...
