Hi all,

My 84 year old mother's first generation OS9 blue iMac died just  
before Christmas. Being the good son that I am I perused eBay and  
purchased her a slightly used iMac G5 with OS 10.5 installed. Now the  
headaches begin.

After 7 plus years of using her computer she barely understood OS9  
and called me for help on a regular basis. Now that she has OS 10.5  
she's completely lost. I would like to get her a very simple book  
that she can look things up in before calling me for help. I was  
thinking of one of the "for Dummies" books but was wondering if you  
guys know of a better one? Please keep in mind that this is a woman,  
God love her, that still calls me up to ask why she can't send an e- 
mail to http://www.somedomain.com, or she calls in panic saying half  
the long letter she just wrote to her sister is missing. To which I  
ask her to click on the little up pointing arrow to scroll back to  
the top of the page. WOW, there's the missing part of her message.  
The book I need HAS to be simple.

Thanks,
