Mac Advice: Getting my grandfather on email
At 86 he's still going strong with local politics, school, church, Knights of Columbus...you name it. He's missing out on a lot of email communication and wants to get on the web.
I have an old G3 Blue and White with OS9 that's as stable as can be and won't ever have any upgrade messages and certainly no viruses. With Outlook and Word, he should be fine forever, but it's slightly slow and he'll be using a dial-up/modem to access the web until I can get cable set up.
Should I set him up with that or go with a newer OSX Mac, maybe a notebook, that is overall faster, would have wireless capability, etc. but would also ask him to install new software now and again...stuff that will more confuse than help.
Pros and cons of each in your experience?
