I think that's one of the best things about the iPad that goes relatively unheralded. It's most of a computer, but nearly impossible for a user to accidentally get into an unusable state. I bought my Dad (74) one this year, as his first "computer", and the first thing I told him was not to worry because he couldn't break it by doing the wrong thing. Now he's sending email and playing Words with Friends. It's been transformative for him, and I believe his acclimation has been made possible mostly by the software's resilience to mistakes.
