8. In that case it looks like GeekSquad again...

... they do offer in home support.

And the fellows they sent to do their iPad and wireless network setup were really spot on.
After I gave them a long-in for my parents Linux box, they configured printer's network settings correctly and everything.

So, it looks like I will be using them again.

I can't go with a distro.

I need something that others can support.
Something that others can help with.

Not just me.
Not just GeekSquad.

If I get her a Mac, one of my sisters who lives a couple of states away could still help her out because she uses Macs at work... she's used it them.

And anybody else that uses Mac could answer her questions.

And if something gets dicey, I can call GeekSquad and know that everything will be under a single service contract.
