I may point out, the laptop is coming free too, so this is why windows is already on it, it is only a 32-bit box. She won't be a gamer either, just mail/photos/IM really, maybe next year it will change, but she is near 60!
MAC O/S, sarcasm aside is a very dear box to buy! Even though my Apple IIc at the time, I would not have looked elsewhere, and Macintosh then were way out of my league.
