89 yrs old Father needs PC

Hello all,
Need some input into a bare bones computer that is just able to get online to keep intouch with my fathers friends and he is into doing some photo printing. At this time he has a epson stand alone printer for printing photo, so I thought I would set up one for him to do some photo printing. Thanks for any help in advance.

Jim

For any basic computer, you cannot beat the price of a DELL, once you've factored in the price of a monitor and XP Home, and indeed, technical support.

Anything with 512MB of RAM will be absolutely fine for that use.
