My Dad is 71 and loves his computer. However, I have to admit that the my laptop's touchpad gives me tendinitis when I use it too much. I had to stop playing so many games!

Buy him a trackball, and if your system supports it, a USB/optical (laser) mouse to take with you on the road.

You should get a mouse for your laptop, a cordless one would be the best.
You can use a full size one or a more compact version that is designed for portability.
My preference is for the Logitech brand followed closely by Microsoft
