Yet another idea:

  Get them an IBM Aptiva 2198!  It has amazing specs:

                           IBM Aptiva 2198
                           Intel Pentium III 800MHz  
                           128MB * 30GB * 16x DVD
                           CD-RW * 56k *Window 98
                           17" Major-Brand Monitor

  and can be bought for $730 (refurbished) from www.intellesale.com.

Mom decided against the camera, so a $730 system and a printer come
to just above my budget.  Good. 

I ordered the Aptiva for Mom and Dad!
