my grandparents (age 70s)got one not too long ago, and they picked it up pretty quickly. Let them sit on that 56k for awhile and I bet your dad will start considering a broadband connection (especially after they start getting into porn, etc. )
My grandparents actually picked it up pretty quickly, but they are still just "users". Get them a big-ass monitor, thats probably most important to them. Start out slow, with the things they will use on the desktop and the quick launch bar. Show them how to download / install programs / burn cds and they will start picking it up. My grandparents have had their computer for about a year, and they know more than alot of our users here at work. Might get some fishing or card games on there too.
Man, my grandpa likes his porn.
