Do they have a computer? Might as well take that away from them with that kind of outlook.
We got my wife's grandmother an iPad because she kept getting fleeced by Geek Squad after opening email attachments. Smooth running for years now.
A lot of people don't have any need for a full-on computer.
I've considered something like Solus-based laptops for them, but I haven't gotten around to testing out a configuration yet.
They're happier as their technology always works the way they expect. I'm happier as I don't get any more tech support calls.
Please don't take that away from me.
