I can second this. I wanted to get mum online. She's 89 and never used 
a computer in her life. She lives alone in a town some distance from 
our home, so most troubleshooting has to be done by email or 'phone.

I got her an eBay-ed tray-loading iMac (Tangerine, she's delighted as 
it matches her carpet:-)) and put OSX on there. She has taken to it 
very well and now, after a few months, is quite confident using Mail 
app, Safari and iTunes.
