I know this is waaaaaaaay off topic but the guys here seem to be
reasonably
knowledgable about a load of weird stuff so here goes.

Has anyone had any experience with Mesh PC's? Aged parents want to get
their first PC and there is a Mesh one that looks good on paper but I
haven't had any dealings with Mesh so I'm not sure what their service etc
is
like. As I will probably be having to fix/identify any problems down the
phone from 300 miles away I want to minimise any potential cock-ups as
much
as possible.

Cheers for any input

Mark

I know it's bad form to reply to myself but it seems the easiest way.

Thanks to all who responded. I'm afraid I don't know enough Linux to make
that a sensible solution as the aged parents have almost got the hang of
Windows now and I think a total learning curve for both them and I would be
far too much stress. The same goes for Macs as well with the addendum that
they are far too much money and I really don't see the point of them - I
have yet to find something that I need to do that a Mac can do that a
cheaper PC can't.

All in all I would probably get a Mesh if it was for me but having bought a
Dell previously myself I think the aged ones could do with the extra
hand-holding that is available

Cheers

Mark
