[X4U] Simple Finder in OSX?

Hi all,

I'm planning on giving my Mom my old 400 MHz iMac DV to replace her 
first generation iMac (not much of an upgrade but it's free). I have 
Mom set up with OS9 set in Simple Finder mode. The iMac I'm giving her 
is running OSX Jaguar. Is there an equivalent of OS9's Simple Finder in 
OSX? Is it simply a matter of setting her up with a limited access user 
account? All she uses is, Netscape, Outlook and Simple Text. Am I 
better off just wiping the HD and installing OS9 again? This is an 80 
year old woman with failing eye sight who consistently calls me up to 
ask why Outlook won't let her send an e-mail to 
www.somethingorother.com. I love her, but I'm not sure if switching her 
to OSX is the right thing  to do. For both of us.
