make a Help Desk application. ticket systems, hand shakes, priorities, activating email systems, user/account creation modifications, permissions.

can use csv style sheets and make it accessible over the web.

also a CRM (customer relations manager) where you do database entries and put in their relations, history, contacts, etc.....

(like i said, i'm frazzled.)

Haha that's genious!! And a good idea. The idea of simplifying a web-based application for old folk is a class idea. Although in some ways, websites and other web applications do that already: they provide a user interface that's far more user-friendly than actually typing code into a database for example. I'll defo give it some thought though.

That's another cool idea. Maybe I can integrate your idea and kossack's idea into one: to create a helpdesk application of some kind, thats made specifically to be user friendly to old folk and the disabled.

The ideas are coming thick and fast now, cheers peeps.
