I agree with her getting a Mac. You said she doesnt know about computer and the iBooks are great for that.OS X is a great OS to use. Its easy to install apps and just as easy to remove them.Shou wont have to worry about virus or spyware infections, and they are priced to match others out there in spite of what others may say. Just dont get the RAM from Apple, get at least a 512MB upgrade though from a good RAM reseller.
