and Dad, who's 80-ish, saw the Microsoft Surface on TV today.
They want one.
No, I'm not sending my check for 10K$US to the good folk in Redmond, but it does emphasize what I've been saying for years. The keyboard, mouse and user interface of most computers is non-intuitive. Palm comes close and the Palm compatible 3Com Ergo Audrey [defunct] was even closer with their touch interface. If not for the Audrey, I don't think that my elderly 
parents would be using their iMac with anywhere near the proficiency they currently have.
Touch it, it works. That's the way to go.
Mom's cell phone is dying. Maybe the iPhone will be the way to go for them after all.
