My Mom, who is super non-techie, has a netbook and she LOVES it. She’s a professor, and she uses it to run her slideshows for each lecture. It’s great that she doesn’t have to lug a huge laptop around just to hook up to a projector. It also has wireless, and she loves how little it is that she can be connected anywhere in the house, whereas with a laptop she feels the need to be near a desk or table.

One caveat – the screen is so short, that some software installers / websites have action buttons that fall BELOW the bottom of the screen, making the action item unclickable. Ooops!

Even the non-techies will love a USB Flash Drive. Prices are plummeting and you can’t beat the convenience. 4GB for $10 or even cheaper. Easy to carry documents around to meetings, for display on a conference room computer, good for getting photos at their original high resolution from a family gathering while still at the gathering, etc. Just a good piece of equipment to have on your keychain.
