So, the questions - should we invest the time and effort to upgrade the current >machine to access WiFi or punt to a new machine? If we punt, should it be to a >Mac or another PC?
If it were my Dad I'd build him a best in class desktop and replicate as far as is possible what he's used to. That's what I did when I replaced my Mom's PC a year and a half ago. She thinks it's the bee's knees.
Her's is the fastest and most capable computer on the block. Admittedley she's not using it to maximum capacity, I'm trying to get her into gaming but its uphill. She does like the broadband access to the Web. My brother and I sort of collaboarated on that effort, I'm the technical guy who built the machine and he shelled out for the productivity software and the laser printer. Remember that you only get one set of parents, normally, so my advice is to treat them right. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
