Hi Sonia,
At first, I was wondering how you had aged so
quickly, then I read the rest of the e-mail :))
The Ubuntu NBR is quite good. I had it on an Acer
netbook I used to own. Big icons, easy to navigate.
I thought I might mention something else too. My
step-father was a manager for the Spastic Society
in the UK. He created a mouse mat for people who
had difficulty controlling the mouse (excessive
movement of the hands, tremors etc).
He cut a hole in the middle of the mouse mat and
put the mouse IN the hole. The extra friction
prevented a lot of inadvertent movement of the
mouse and allowed better control the mouse. I
mention this only in the event that hand tremors
(common among the elderly) are a problem for your
relative.
Regards,
Patrick
