oister.... horrible idea posting it in the lounge imo....

youtube, some movie streaming sites (NO NOT PORN), maybe a weather dock sort of thing
rocket dock for easy access to programs (make sure you lock the bar and ground it to the floor)
Antivirus if you haven't
maybe a music/video player and some songs?
linux just in case she does do something and you need an os to change it O.O
and if the laptop doesn't have a cd player, get magicdisc
make sure you also get winrar/7-zip
skype maybe and a camera for oovoo?

Yeah, I know. But I figured I'd get some serious answers too. And I did :P

Thanks guys.

I was thinking of maybe making some instructional videos on how to do things on the internets...but IDK. Should I use that "hypercam" program? That seems to be the most common one that I see.

you could also use a camcorder to do it and then upload it
