Here's the deal. My aunt is 95 and has arthritis pretty bad. I thought I had read about some small devices that were designed for word processing and not much else. It sticks in my mind there were a couple models that had built in printers. Where she's living, wi-fi, broadband, and internet are medical conditions not tech terms. Does anyone know of any such simple devices?

They don't really make them much anymore.

Brother and Olympia used to make them with thermal printers and intergrated keyboard with 2 lines LCDs.

But really, PCs are so cheap nowadays no one makes them anymore except as part of something else (some other commercial device costing more than a cheap PC).

Anywhoo, the keyboard on them sucked, I know from experience I used one in 1988 and it sucked, I was happy when I got back to my original IBM PC full size keyboard. Those things would be terrible on arthritic hands.

Unless she absolutely needs a mobile soution, then get here a cheap 2nd hand PC with a full size keyboard. Anything less is pointless.
