I need help finding a gift and thought maybe someone on here might be able to help.

I moved away and my grandmother has been hinting that she is a bit jealous of my mom and aunt being able to email me. I am looking for some sort of email device that she could use with dial up in her house. She said a full computer is just too complicated for them. I have seen some of the tiny handhelds, but I think they are a little too small for her. They used to make like small desktop email devices that only did email. Some even had full internet capabilities. Anyone know of anything like this or the name of one? I have been looking and can't seem to find anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is WebTV still available? I believe with that all she needs is a keyboard and a TV set. She'd use the TV screen as her monitor. I used to know someone who had that and she was able to surf the net and send emails using it.

Ohhh, maybe. I forgot about those. As long as they aren't too complicated...lol.
