Need help finding a Mini Computer
My mother is 90.

I am looking for a mini computer for her just to play games on.

I saw an AD a while ago about a mini computer that was for Seniors or a family setting, maybe in the kitchen, that was not expenssive.

My PC makes her afraid because she doesn't want to "mess it up."

The mini computer I remember seeing can sit on the kitchen counter top and is easy to move from room to room.

It was perfect to receive mail/photo print from friends, had a tiny printer.

Does anyone know the name of the product?

1. Google "net books." Here's one I looked at, but haven't actually tried:

There are plenty of other options: http://crave.cnet.co.uk/laptops/0,39029450,49297248,00.htm

There are small printers, but they may require special paper, which I assume may be expensive: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&redirect=1&s=dhs&sku=224-3591

If I were doing this, I'd probably look for a more standard printer that would work via some wireless option with the net book. Then one's off the hook on special paper charges
