How about pointing your mom to some of the great Web development tutorials out there and letting her decide what she's interested in. For starters, WebMonkey is great and has easy step-by-steps. If she wants to dig deeper point her to O'Reilly.
As a side comment, if your mom said she is interested in learning about programming, why are half the posters here saying she should learn HTML and moderating these suggestions as "5 - Insightful?" Why don't we just relegate moms to the kitchen and forget they have brains.

One of the first sources quoted by the reviewer is the International Energy Agency, a forum for 26 industrialized countries. For those wo want to tap deeper there are a lot more - and diverse - statistics out there. For example the IEA's statistics on world consumption vs reserves are different from those of OPEC, and even different from state-run BP's Statistical Review of World Energy, which I consider more moderate than either of the two previous sources. The US Energy Information Agency site is also very comprehensive. Check out their Country Profiles section for comprehensive info on oil operations the world over.
>>>Silicon Valley's reluctance to give up its cars is a remnant of the great optimism that led to their purchase in the first place, adds Mr. Kevern's boss, Mr. Doyle. "You find a lot of lottery tickets in repossessed cars," he says. "It's their last hope."
It was an entertaining enough article, but a little mucky. There may be a certain amount of "new money" stupidity to one person leasing 4 or 5 cars and spending like it's 1999, but it's still sad to see the optimism Suein Hwang cites in the last 'graph (quoted above) eulogized.
Oh Well.

Oh good, you mean now when I go into a cafe and see 25 people on white macbooks, I can listen in? Why does this sound really boring????
Sounds like time for that easy drag n' drop encryption utility.

Sorry; I backed my SUV into my post.
