Camera help please?

I want to buy my Mom a digital camera for Christmas.
It needs to be slimline, have a large viewfinder/display & be very, very simple to use.
My Mom is seventy & a bit of a techno-phobe but she's seen our Canon Ixus 75 & really likes it.
I would like to get her something similar in design but with fewer functions & settings. I mean she's never going to take a video or do macro photography or anything like that. She just wants to be able to point it & press the button - taking pictures on holiday & at family gatherings (& of Buddy, of course!)
Can anyone recommend anything please?
I'm looking to spend around £100.
Thanks, folks!

Higher price-wise, but this one:

Olympus camera

is adored by my mother the technophobe. She took to it like a duck to water, so it must be pretty easy to use. And she's thrilled with the pictures it takes and loves showing them off right on the screen, which is pretty good size.
