Just got my folks a new macbook today their pc users for some years
and the macbook knocked their socks off.

They purchased the middle of the range version it's really fast and
quite handsome too boot, they only really use the internet and do a
bit of emailing so this will suit them down to the ground. I taught
them how to use the tracker pad to navigate and trash things and their
really happy how everything works. Front-row works really well with
the remote and the slide show in iphoto with the cheesy music was a
nice touch.

But for a parent friendly computer you can't go far wrong, it did
cross my mind to ask if they would swap for my powerbook but i'm sure
I'd have to prize it out of their hands with a crowbar.
But l'll inherted a two year old dell for my java programing and virus
scanning so it all worked out well for me too!
