My mom currently uses the same Mini as Mr. rgG but with 3GB and an SSD installed "for web sites and email." Certainly those updates help it be rather a fast machine for those uses but you have to consider that it is EOL at this point. My mom is one time zone over so immediate hardware assistance to replace the Mini itself is not immediately available (I'm considering replacement options at this time). You have more flexibility for quick turnaround in case of a major hardware failure.
As long as the Mini is regularly backed up, adding a 120GB SSD for $40

and 3GB for $27

isn't a bad investment even for an 8 year old Mini.
