So long as your mother's eyesight isn't too weak a netbook should be a good option.
The HP 2133 Mini-Note has a lovely high screen resolution, meaning text and icons will appear very small...
Of course you can change the settings, and in Firefox it's just a matter of CTRL + to zoom in/ make text larger. With my mini-note running VIsta Business it's still hard to find that perfect balance between legibilty and getting the damn windows to fit on the ickle screen - it can be that you up the dpi, then find that the OK & Apply buttons in, say, Control Panel windows are trapped off the bottom of the screen.
Which is irritating. Or perhaps I am missing something?
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
