How about on of these

Google "photo negative scanner", there are lots of different brands/prices, and check out some of the reviews etc

You can scan in all the negatives from your old style photos and transfer them to the computer

I think they sound great

a bit of a long shot, I don't suppose he plays computer games? You could get him a snazzy super duper graphics card?

wireless keyboard? We got one for about £80 but that was about a year ago and they come down in price. Or a wireless mouse?
