I don't think the bar is that high really.

My mum is very computer illiterate and has trouble with the concept of a "window" or "desktop" and finds the trackpad and keyboard hard. I have to repeatedly remind her how to use the "Enter" key ("the BIG key!") to break up long lines.

But guess what? She runs Linux!

This is an older laptop - web browsing and web mail only. She really doesn't need anything else and I don't have to worry about viruses, trojans and assorted malware. No need for slick - just very basic functionality.
