PS I think Mom would *like* a Mac, but finding one and getting it onto the internet, installing new software, migrating her data , and teaching her the new OS is: also a big job. Mom's an independent adult and if she wants to work with someone to do that, more power to her. I'm too far away. Caveat that switching software confuses the heck out of her and trying to switch OS, mail program, browser, and editor all at once would be painful and require a lot of followup phone support. And it would completely cut her off from support from me. I've sometimes managed to pull her out of a jam by opening exactly the same program she's using and reading the menus step by step. When I can't do that, like for Word Perfect which I don't own, or when my Windows 7 Pro doesn't match her Windows 7 Home, our phone support sessions end up completely dead in the water. I don't have a Mac (or want one)
(did I mention that Mom is editing an 800-page book using Word Perfect? Her fourth? With massive footnotes? Switching word processors alone is not a trivial task)
