When you install Win98se, do the Custom install, and include all the Accessability options. Also include the extra pointers in the Accessories group. This way he can use the extra large fonts, and have the utility called "Magnifier" - a very handy and easy-to-use applet that opens a rectangular window that can browse anywhere on the current screen magnified several times (and it's adjustable).

I can't remember if the Narrator utility is in the Win98se accessibility bundle or not: but if his vision gets much worse, that sort of utility is very nice to have: it reads the text on-screen. Helps with reading e-mail, which often comes in smaller fonts.

Best of luck
