To update on the situation:

I had a chat with everyone involved weighing Ruby and Java against each
other and it was decided to go with Ruby.
my mother and my dad are now going through Chris' tutorial.
They are both enjoying it very much - and my dad (coming from the VB for
applications world) is so impressed with how beautiful Ruby is.

They see learning ruby as something they can do together as a family
activity and everytime I pop around for a visit my mom first has to show
me her latest little program.

so ... we are steadily becoming a family of rubyists. (if only my little
sister and my wife would take interest, but franky i think that would
become scary (besides hell would have to freeze over first))

I think my parents are happier people (or at least they have more fun)
today because of Ruby.
She'll probably join the list in a couple of months, when she gets a
solid internet connection at home, and i'll introduce her then.

thanks for all the input.

-Francois
