    Perhaps she could try cooking and baking for her freezer in the evenings or knitting baby clothes for charity?

    how about knitting preemie clothes, or the outfits for 'angel babies' - that would be something very worthwhile?

    I'd not want my parents getting a computer ... they're too vulnerable to all kinds of shennanigans on the Internet, like phishing etc. They'd click and give away all their banking secrets without a moment's thought - even if instructed 1000x not to do it.

    Then there's all the faffing about with computers that sometimes happens, when it doesn't work. They struggle with flicking a switch on the telly and getting a picture to appear some days, seriously.

    that's where having a very tech savvy son comes in, he has remote access to his grandads computer and keeps a v careful eye on him
