While I was struggling with teaching her Windows (bad) and Mint (better)
my daughters kept telling to give her an iPad. (We are in our 80s! And
she was the Valedictorian.) I demurred, but finally gave in. They taught
her how to use it and the light suddenly went on. The ease with which
they can do global "videophone" is the last straw in selling this one
way ticket. (Yes I know about Skype...)
Over the years I've given iPads to daughters and granddaughters around
the world to their delight. (The males get Linux and Windows.) And they
gave me iPads in return. I use them when watching TV and running Ham
Radio remote (FLEX 6300). iPads do have their place and resistance is
futile in this case. :-D.

Folks, my wife finally conceded that she needed to learn how to use a

that has been an uphill battle for years, I am looking at starting
her out
on a
T42 Thinkpad which I have here. At this point all she needs is a
browser,
some-
thing to play music and watch videos. Later on I will show her how to
use
LO.
So what should I put on that T42 that will work reasonably well for
her to
get
started but will not be too much. I am going to set it up with a very
limited
amount of things, and let her work up. Big thing is I do not want her to
open
something, get flustered and then back away
I have been thinking about either Lubuntu or
