Surf would work well on his hardware, but it's minimal interface is somewhat 
different to a traditional web browser, and probably not what he is expecting.

It also has some fairly unique issues with some websites due to the way 
non-html links are passed to curl.  Session cookies are not passed to the curl 
instance, so downloading anything that requires authentication from any kind of 
portal that you're logged in to generally doesn't work, (think statements on 
internet banking, etc).  Surf also often chokes on pop-up windows that have a 
javascript target URI, and there are a few other oddities as well.

Having said that, I use surf a lot, our website definitely works well in Surf, 
and the way you can drive Surf completely via keyboard navigation is excellent.

Midori might be worth looking at as a light-weight browser replacement for 
Firefox, although I haven't used it for a number of years.

Agreed.
