No thoughts on the best laptop for a venerable oldster?
I have so little experience with pcs, I would hate to recommend a lemon. In fact, she was saddled with a terrible Compaq for 2 years of tech woes.
I'd love to point her to something good. Anybody have a favorite?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Alas, bonny, my experience with laptops is confined to the Thinkpads we used at work years ago, and my lone iBook.
There are a lot of new-ish netbooks out there now, which are pretty stripped down, and most importantly INEXPENSIVE. Howver, it sounds like she wants a bigger screen because of vision issues, right?

I think our Garmin is a nuvi and I like it a lot. It does it's job well and we used it to drive from VA to NM.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Is anyone on a no-contract cell phone plan? Feel like offering recommendations?

I used Virgin Wireless for a long time and was very happy with it. They use the Sprint network, if you know what coverage for that is like in your area.

Oh, and I should mention I want the internet on the phone. Nay, need the internet, especially if I'm going to survive in my new job.

I had that too - neat little phone that flipped on the long side and had a full qwerty keyboard. I miss that phone. (It did not survive being dropped in a rushing water during a big storm.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Conan O'Brien gets Ajay Bhatt to talk trash about Firewire. Okay, not really. But Conan interviews the *real* co-creator of the USB port, not the actor from the Intel ads. Apparently their rock-stars aren't like their rock-stars either.

I thought it was the actual guy until I saw the actor in another commercial for subway or something.
