My mother(79 years old) was just sent an iPad mini from my uncle. She didn't even know what she has-" one of those hand held things" she said- I had her tell me what brand . Very generous gift to a person that has never even sat in front of a PC even though my dad had PC's since the early 90's.
she has no interest in computers- My uncle had sent her an (antiquated) macbook 6 years ago after dad passed away- it could not connect to internet ( my sister is experienced with mac) it was too outdated to upgrade. My uncle wants to be able to do FaceTime email and such with her( he is on west coast she is on the east coast) He is 80 but never stops learning. She has trouble learning the new buttons on her cordless phone- She has fios internet but does not even know her assigned e-mail address to set up an apple account.
Any suggestions? i'm jealous- I have a first gen iPad- I am going over this weekend to see if I can help set it up- she is disabled so taking her to an apple store would be difficult
