home kiosk

A personal computer for people who are not interested in hobbyist computing; such users want to write e-mail, browse the Internet, and make light use of office applications, but they do not want to learn details about the computer or spend time maintaining it.

Grandfather doesn't want a fancy computer and doesn't want anything complicated. He only wants a home kiosk that he can use to send e-mail to the family and check news and weather on the Web.
