Change your thinking. I got my mom an apple wireless router and an iPad. All my tech support issues went away, and she loves it. Its easier for her to use and with a keyboard does email just fine.
These days if you just want email a PC is no longer the best solution.
I prefer C# honestly. I live in Seattle, so I figured a C# job would be easy to get. And it was...but the Java jobs paid a lot more.
So I am still a java programmer.

I recommend anything by Patricia McKillip, especially the book "Forgotten Beasts of Eld": http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0152055363/patriciamckillip
