A web app will allow for growth and backups. You separate the GUI from
the app and let yourself focus on just the business logic. That also
means she can upgrade or change platforms, or have her main computer
down for service, and still get work done.

As for Adobe AIR etc, truth to tell I don't really even know what it is
though I've heard of it. I'll do some reading. Qt, same answer. Not familiar
with it though I've certainl

Perfect answer. In the old days I be ranting about scripting
languages, now it's WTF? We are reaching I guess officially web 3.0
At this point it's all GUI/js/xml driven. Make It look awesome.
And then make it look even MORE awesome on the iPad. ;-)

Have you considered Adobe AIR + HTML + Javascript?
I would personally go with wxPython for this sort of task. I've used phpgtk
