The picture frame idea may be sound. I've never used one. If there's someone to 
set them up, an iPad could be good. The 
image quality on the iPad 3 & 4 display is wonderful. I can't imagine any 
picture frame comes even close. With old eyes, 
bright, clear and saturated might be helpful.

With the images loaded in and put into albums by date and/or occasion for them, 
it would be very easy to use. With a 
little adapter, it will easily load new images as they are generated. I've not 
done it, but I think it can be set to do 
that automatically when the SD card is inserted?

Cloud storage sync would be transparent to them, while providing a back-up. 
That then provides an opening for sharing 
with family and friends. Load new pics, they are synced automatically, and are 
available to others.

As long as no one calls it a computer, one might later, after they are 
comfortable, get them on email. Then then can 
look at pics from their progeny.

Then, maybe, other useful apps. :-)
