recently broadband in AU has dropped in price and upped in gigs
the average plan is au$80, roughly US$60
this is for 512/128k adsl with ~15gb download (uploads are generally free)
the biggest prob for ppl here is being able to get broadband as many areas still don't have it... tho hopefully that will change with some of the new wireless technology coming out
I have a P100 overclocked to 120Mhz. Its running as the gateway for my 512k adsl connection. The ram is maxxed at 64mb (edo simms) and a 2.1Gb hdd. Network cards are ne2000 clones.
works like a charm, if a little slow
my Dad has an Amstrad pcw8512 that only died last year, he bought it in 1981!

give him a non gui *nix box.

If they figure out how to get access to the outside world/install X, then all power to them (feel free to give them hints)
the general idea is they learn gradually through exploration

When you get a few hundred applications for the same job you tend to be ruthless about what gets let through.
