I was thinking maybe an android tablet, pre-set to log into skype, but even that I am scared will be too much for her

Another of life's weird little coincidences. Just 10 mins ago the lady friend phoned me to ask if I could fix her Skype which isn't working.

Dad is the same. Doesn't matter how many times I show him or connect for him, he just doesn't get it.

Sorry, but I think you're on a hiding to nothing. My mum has an iPad that logs into Skype automatically. Not once have I managed to raise her on it - despite the fact that I can see she's logged in (mum manages to do a fair bit on line too).
Don't get me started on my dad - he seems to think it's some kind of magic kaleidoscope
