[QUOTE="JayX, post: 331332, member: 27525"] hey guys, thanks for the replies. OK, i'll keep my eye out on a ~1ghz 12" G4 then, either thru local people or UK forums and the dreaded eBay. Yeah some of the options might work ok, i think its a case of experimenting. I thought the magnifier in Windows would be good for him, but he didn't like it so turned off. In the end I ran very few extra options, but I quite like the "Say" command.. would be useful if my dad just needed attention more than anything, as my mum would be with him for most of the day whilst just using the system. Alas, I'm in Cardiff which is a fair distance from yourself, but I know the odd people who I know run Apple hardware, so I can at least go thru the OS with them and work out how the setup would go even if the actual dimensions of the hardware would be different. If I can randomly find a 12" shell somehow I could always take that down.. I'd feel a bit uncomfortable about taking someone elses working laptop with me into the hospital just in case something happened! [/QUOTE]
