- 12in 1Ghz Powerbook G4
My 87 yr old mom has begun to play solitaire on a PC. She wants to email. I got my neice to give Gram her 1998 (fall) Powerbook G3. It has 192 megs of ram and is thus maxed out. It has a 3 Gig hard drive, runs OS 9.2. I picked up a functioning Style Writer from 1992.
What would be the best way for her to access the web and email? Is there a more text based web interface that would need less memory? I can't load the printer driver, says it needs OS 6. Are there ways to enlarge ALL the fonts as she has very poor eyesight.
The machine itself runs like a top. I can't help but think it should serve her. She is willing to keep at it. Any ideas as to how to make Gram and the computer work well together?
