Personally, I wouldn't go with the wireless keyboard and mouse -
unless your parents can take care of them. Otherwise, you'll turn
yourself into a 24/7 tech support for your parents.
Definitely the larger screen, however, you want to make sure it
doesn't have too high of a resolution because the higher the
resolution, the smaller everything is, even if the screen is larger.
You want to find a screen that's large enough but also something they
have no problem looking at the words.
And definitely more RAM.
The key is - nothing too complex - anything that will take you a bit
of time to do is probably too complex for them (and even something as
simple as changing battery out of the keyboard). They will freak out
and call you when they see the screen that said battery is slow,
change now. So, they'll never get to the part where they change the
battery.

The bigger the monitor the better in the end, so I'll discuss it
with my folks this
weekend and see where they want to go. Boost the RAM. Make the
choice around wireless
keyboarding and connection.
I'm probably going to buy something almost identical for myself
while I'm at it! It seems
that with Tiger, Safari, iLife, and Office we'll be covered for
pretty much everything we
could ever want to do.
Now what?
