Hah...i converted my 60 year old non english speaking/reading mother to a nice G4 Cube running os 10.3. She loves it...before i tried getting her to use a windows machine with portuguese language support installed but she just wouldn't go for it...now she uses her Mac and doesn't even need portuguese language support half the time, she's not only learning how to use a computer, but it's helped her advance in her english too....amazing what a mac can do.

I guess this confirms the belief that even a baby can use OS X.

Mac OS X is Portuguese localized. But if she's learning English with her current setup, perhaps that's better
