[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1140147"] I often tell Windows switchers to just forget about the close button ENTIRELY, because it works differently on the Mac. Command-q does what they EXPECT the close button should do, so I teach them that instead, which seems to help. As for your Mom, how's her vision? That's the next thing I generally ask older customers. It plays a big role in what I'll recommend for them -- a 27" iMac might be awesome, but not if the native rez is too small to read (and it is for a lot of people!). At the moment, if someone asked me to recommend something based on what you've said, I'd go with the iMac. *Stunningly* beautiful screen you won't get with a Mac mini, plus other nice extras. And then, [B]next[/B] Christmas, an iPad 2! :) [/QUOTE]
