Thanks for the practical suggestions on the mags and the stores.  I've
printed all your replies from here in alt.sys.mac.newuser-help and I'm
going to send them to her soon. 

You guys have been great.  Between the 3 answers I received in the
newsgroup and 3 additional in email, I feel pretty confident we'll be
able to get her Mac reading PC disks so I can mail her text files such
as software and hardware catalogues, and even binhexed or stuffed
program files.  

I have tried asking about Zurich suppliers in the Swiss ch.comp
newsgroup but haven't received any answers yet.  While that's a pity,
it's really good to know that at least I'll be able to tell her of
plenty of North American mail order houses she can buy things from.
