Enter to win a HP TouchSmart 600 for yourself and help us win another one for a deserving family!

Get ready to drool ladies…

We online moms appreciate technology — I mean a fabulous computer can make us shiver with love, and a slow, outdated machine can make us growl with frustration.

So we realize that when we show you what we are about to giveaway, it might make you REALLY excited… and really desperate to win it. You might turn green.

I know, cause I AM! I want this prize soooo badly!!!

Yes, we are going to give one of you a new computer. And not just any computer. We are giving away a fabulous HP TouchSmart 600 (valued at $1599.99)!!!

hptouchsmart

The HP TouchSmart 600 is a collaboration between Microsoft and HP to create best-in-class touch technology that melds with the power of Windows 7. This revolutionary desktop features some of the newest technology in home computing, including multi-touch which allows you to pinch, rotate, arc, flick, and press and drag to zip through applications, photos and more!

More reasons why we love the HP TouchSmart 600:

    The integrated hardware & software technology (including TouchSmart Live TV with optional TV tuner) allows you to view video, record TV, and play video games right on your PC.
    Windows 7 fast start up and shut down gives you easier access to your apps on the HP TouchSmart 600. This is HUGE for us busy moms who only have a few minutes before the kids wake up from naptime and every minute counts!

Just think how amazing the HP TouchSmart 600, with it’s sleek design, is going to look on your desk! OR you can even hang it directly on your wall!

Comments

  1. Really I am highly impressed to learn about HP TouchSmart 600 by reading your post. I
    pray to almighty that you can grow up more and more and share your knowledge among us.
    Looking forward to your reply

  2. Hello! Quick question that’s totally off topic. Do you know how to
    make your site mobile friendly? My site looks weird when viewing from my iphone.
    I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to resolve this
    issue. If you have any suggestions, please share.
    Many thanks!

  3. You may be combating what your internal voice is telling you.
    The next thing is to see what guidance is usually being offered.
    Your individual magnetism is operating at a level now so romance is
    most likely.

  11. What an awesome giveaway! Currently, our family computer has a 10gb hard drive so we could use an upgrade. Also my son has very hypermobile fingers due to a connective tissue disorder and sometimes needs a break from a mouse so a touch screen would be such a blessing!

    Thank you for such a wonderful chance!

  16. Would love, love, love this computer. Who wouldn’t?! This would be an amazing Christmas surprise to win this. You are so generous for giving the second one away if you win! God bless you!!

  18. I would absolutely love to win this computer, I am a University student, I have no PC as mine broke and I currently have to walk to the library every time I need the internet for my work!

    …Though to nominate someone I would have to suggest my Mum, who’s going through a very tough divorce at the moment but still has managed to be supportive of me whenever I need her! 🙂

  19. I would nominate my brother in law- he started back to school (past 40!) after losing his job.

  40. I would love to win! My computer is over 5 years old and the hard drive makes a ca-chunk sound all the time. Not good, I’m sure. Thanks!

  41. OY! This is one amazing computer!!! I would love to get rid of my 6 year old desktop & replace it with this…That would be awesome!!!! Thanks!

  47. I would have to nominate my husband to recieved the computer. He’s leaving to go work up in Canada ( a big sacrifice from him but we really need it) and I’d love for him to have a computer to communicate with the kids with. They’d have so much fun with the webcam (I just hope noone else will be able to see the shows they put on…because I know a wild rumpus will ensue!) I’m trying to find him a cheeap little notebook computer to take but having a Touchsmart Bang Pow mega laptop would be the coolest thing ever (and I won’t have to pick up extra shifts at work to pay for it!!! ..don’t tell my boss I said that…anyway thanks for giveway …can’t believe you’re gonna give it away!

  49. I would love to win this. My husband has been taking care of me for 5 years since I injured my back, so severely sometimes that I can’t even sit up and use the internet, and he works a 12 hour shift each day (or should I say night, driving about 45 miles each way). I would love to give this to him for his 42nd birthday on 12/12!

    Thanks HP and Microsoft, and 5M4M!

  55. I would like to nominate my son, Devon, for the 2nd computer. He is a freshman in high school and a computer of his own would be great. He is an amazing student/athlete and a wonderful kid. His little brother is his biggest fan. With me as a single mom it isn’t something I could afford to give him and he deserves it. He helps me so much!

  61. Hello, I did the yahoo thing looking forward to reading your stuff! found you thru erin “son up to son down” thanks for the chance to win!

  66. This would make a great Christmas present for my family, our computer is getting really SLOW and this would help my kids with schoolwork and myself who work form home tremendously!

  76. Not that I have a prayer to win this fabulous prize, but I’ll enter anyway cause you have to enter to have any chance at winning:)

  82. I would love for my sister in law to win one of these computers! She has 5 year old twins that she is homeschooling and could really use a computer to help her!

  83. What an awesome giveaway – I’ll blog and tweet when I get home – I could really, really use this, my computer is getting old!

  85. My computer just went out….have to travel to the library to get online and get other stuff done….so NEED another computer. I’d had the previous one made for me in 1999. I know right….

    It had served it’s purpose (*smiles* in memory of said computer).

    Thank you for even getting the chance to be in the drawing!

  87. My girlfriend and I are starting up a home business and are really in need of a computer. We currently only have access to one at work or school and that is not going to work to our company’s advantage.

  137. This is a great offer. I am working to get a full time income from home and have been learning about making webinars, Submitting videos for marketing as well as creating screencasts with Camtasia. I can’t buy the software until I get a computer that can handle it.

    For now, I’m using a Dell Latitude that I got from Ebay. It is slow, slow, slow! It’s 10 years old! I hope we could win a computer so that I can get my work done quicker instead of rebooting 2 times every day (I’m not kidding, it locks up/gets hung up that often).

    I also have to thank Jendi for letting me know about this contest. Thanks Jendi! 😉

  139. I’m a subscriber.

    I have a fairly new computer, but my partners is not too crash hot and he has to share it with our 4 y/o. She badly needs her own computer. lol

    Okay, so Peter would give her the old one, the new one could be mine seeing as I need it for business and Peter can have this one 🙂

    Thanks from me, too Jendi.

  143. Our family needs a new computer so badly. The one we have now is older than dirt and slower than molasses. I’m sure it’s going to die any second now. I have a son in college and a daughter who is a Senior in high school, so they need a trusty computer for their school work.

    Thanks for telling me about this Jendi!

  165. This would be a dream come true. It would be great to have a computer of my own that would do all the things I need and want it to do!

  168. Oh my goodness! Yes! I would give it to my mom, who really needs a new computer and totally can’t afford one right now.

  172. I am super excited to even be entering this giveaway! I could really use a new desktop, and this one is just the bomb!

    My laptop died a few months ago and my desktop is nearing the point of death soon too I’m afraid. It’s almost 3 years old now and creeping along slowly.

    Good luck to everyone! What a cool prize 😉

  180. I would love to win this wonderful computer. Having three kids to homeschool and my husband and I needing to work on computers we are slightly short and have to juggle usage time. Would be a wonderful family gift! Thanks for the chance to win!

  186. Oh! We would love to win that new computer… this behemoth on the desk REALLY needs updating. But replacing would be so much better!

  189. I am dying to have this computer. Crossing my fingers and wishing on a star.
    I also signed up for the newsletter to get an extra entry.

  215. I want to win because it has True HD experience and my old computer does not support HD. I also would love to win because the HP TouchSmart 600 is so cool. I think I’m in love.

  222. What a great computer!! I’m running on a 5-year-old Dell that is on it’s third hard drive. My kids complain because they can’t play some of the 3d games on Nickelodeon and the like, and it runs slower than molasses, even on a DSL connection, so we could definitely use and appreciate this! Being out of work almost steadily for the past two years, I definitely can’t afford to buy a new computer; it’s difficult enough to find a way to pay school fees and buy uniform shirts for the kids, even though they both are lucky enough to be in school tuition-free due to their grades. This would be the best present in the world for them!!

  238. I nominate my pastor to win the second one. He is one of the most amazing people I have ever met. Just one example: One night every week he goes to the laundromat. He doesn’t do his own laundry, he does laundry for the homeless. He pays for it, brings the detergent and orders pizza. He is a great man of God.

  248. I would love to win this awesome computer. It has everything in it I could ever dream of . My children live so far away that most of the time we communicate by computer. I have 4 children and 9 grandchildren, and having a computer with a webcam and mic built right in is a NaNee’s dream come true. I’m on disability, & I’m a transcriptionist & work out of my home. It sure would make life a whole lot easier for me. For the other one I would nominate my daughter who is a stay at home mom and also works at hom on the computer. She has four children, and it would make life a bit easier on her too to have a better computer.

  249. I would like to Nominate my MOM. As far as Mom’s goes she’s the greatest. My mom would give you the shirt off her back, the money in her pocket, the keys to her car, and not ask for any of it back. She’s a giver and a forgiver.

    SHe’s had a really last rough couple of years. She’s been put on disability due to slipping falling down the stairs at my Uncles house. She had to have back surgery and this did her no good. SHE can’t stand for more than 10 min at time. She’s been strugging with weight loss issues and can’t get exercise in due to her back injury. She just recently lost her mother, and mother in law. None of us kids live close to here and I know she misses us and her grandchildren terribly. Her computer is so old she can’t get it to stay connected for more than a few minutes at a time and she ws told to junk it and upgrade.
    THanks for your consideration.

  263. For the second nomination I would love this to go to my stepson James.

    James is terminally ill (and end stage) 14 year old. Because he gets sick often he has to stay at home alot. A power surge broke his old laptop and his mom and stepdad don’t have the money to fix it. As you can imgaine being 14 and terminal makes it very hard for him to find things to do without technology.

    This would be such a wonderful thing if he got this….he would be in shock!

    Thank you for this. Extremely generous of you.

  265. Wow…I would love to win this…I take anything at this point because my motherboard when I my computer…I have to sneak on to my husbands!

  267. What an awesome giveaway! My husband is a computer geek and I would love to give him this computer for Christmas.

    I subscribed to your feed, signed up for your newsletter, spread the word via facebook and twitter and now I’m leaving a comment.

  268. I would nominate my husband’s aunt Eileen for the second computer. This wonderful lady works so hard. She should be able to retire and she cannot. She has her family living with her and takes care of everyone. SHe always makes sure everyone is taken care of before herself and I think she deserves a special treat. She has an old computer that barely works and this would be so wonderful for her.

  272. I saw this at the Type a mom conference and fell in love with it. It is the most amazing prodcut I have seen. I would love to own this because Iknow it would be the last computer I would own!

  292. I am a grandmother of nine, mother of four and I would really like to win this computer because it has a built in webcam and speakers for one very good reason, and my youngest child lives out of State and the others live far away too, and I could literally see them more often.

  294. I just saw advertisements for this computer and it looks amazing. It’s great for someone like me who likes to run a few programs at once. If I were to get this AND the second computer I would nominate my father for it. He is a recovering alcoholic and is just now learning how to use a computer. It would be a great distraction for him to start reading blogs, researching and surfing the net and playing games etc.haha

  315. I would love to win this for my daughter, she could really use a computer. Believe it or not, she doesn’t have one.

  318. My kids would really love this for christmas our computer is so old and slow and i can barely afford to feed them right now let alone buy a new computer.

  320. Hi 5Minutes for Moms!
    I want to enter the contest! YAY! If I had anyone to give a touchsmart to, it would be my twin sis, Paula Wells. She has waded the challenging waters of singlemotherhood for many years, often when it feels like the opportunity to get a break if few and far between. She’s a doll, and perseveres with a relentless spirit!

  333. We’d love this computer, as it probably won’t crash every 5 minutes like our current one! I’d like to nominate my dad, who is always struggling with other people’s computers to get them to work.

  334. Id love to win this. I have six kids, work from home as a writer and run a nonprofit all on my own. We all have to share our 9 year old desktop! Ive done everything on the list for extra entries. Wish me luck, this computer could change our life!

  335. This is a wonderful giveaway and I want to win it. My laptop is dying but can’t afford a new one either! I hope we both win this! Best of luck to us!

  348. Our aging desktop could certainly use an upgrade! Now that the kids are getting older they are wanting to use it more and more for schoolwork.

  363. I need a computer!! The desktop has been taken over by the 4 boys in this house. SO that leaves this mama with NO computer to use. That makes for a very not so happy mama!! 🙂 Thanks for this chance!

  369. Oh my goodness, this is awesome! I would love to win this for myself – I’ve been wanting something small and portable for my writing that is yet to be… lol. This is such a generous giveaway.

  374. I would LOVE one of these..just because! Because it’s so cool, because it’s new and I never get anything new, everything is always second hand (even though there it nothing wrong with that!) and because there are way too many people in my house to share one computer. We are always competing for time.

  386. I would like to nominate my parents to receive the second computer. My father was recently diagnosed with leukemia but before they could even start him on chemotherapy they had to remove a cancerous kidney. So he’s recuperating from that and then waiting to start chemo. This TouchSmart would not only be a blessing for him during his recovery, but my mom also babysits a 14-mo old and a 3-yr old in addition to taking care of my dad. So the kids would definitely benefit as well. God bless you all and I hope the second computer goes to a really deserving and needy family!

  394. Do I want to win? Are you kidding me?? Who WOULDN’T want to win it!! 🙂 I love that you can hang it on the wall – there’s a spot right above my desk that it would be PERFECT on!!

  397. Question: Is this contest only open to women? I’m too lazy to read the contest rules, lol.

    Comment: I’d hate to be the person who’s got to keep track of all the entries, seems as this was a pretty popular contest!

  402. I definitely would love to win this computer. Ours is on its last leg. Our laptop screen doesnt work so I found a monitor at a yard sale and connected it to the laptop. The second one, if we were so lucky, would go to my son who is in college. He worked full time for three years and went to school full time all so I could return to college and be able to do my clinicals. He never complained once for carrying our financial load. He so deserves it.

  408. I want to win because we could definitely use a computer!
    Right now I’m borrowing a laptop from my employer that barely works, and this PC looks/sounds amazing!! 🙂

  412. This is such a great giveaway, thanks so much. I would LOVE to win this computer.

  426. My grandmother would benefit so much from this computer. She lives with my aunt, who is severely disabled mentally & physically from a horrible accident that occurred about 4 years ago. My aunt’s husband divorced her after the accident (a long story) and so my grandmother (who is over 70) is her primary caretaker. She is an amazing woman who is on-the-go constantly. No one I have met even comes close to her level of intensity and energy.

    I know my grandmother struggles with normal computers a bit – she dislikes sitting down much, for one thing! However, I think this touchscreen could help simplify things a bit – and the screen is so nice & big for her. I know she would enjoy sending/receiving pictures & email if she had a nice new computer to use instead of her old one. Most importantly, I think she could really benefit from being connected to other caretakers. I can’t think of a day in her life when she hasn’t been taking care of someone. Perhaps the computer could give her some way of connecting with other people in a way that doesn’t involve taking care of their physical needs.

    There’s also the hope that my aunt could use it as well. She plays a couple games that are intended to exercise certain cognitive functions, in hopes that she can eventually gain control over her emotions & function at a higher level (nrain injuries are so complex). However, I wonder if a touchscreen might be a great tool for her to use, especially as she can barely see out of one eye because of the accident.

    At any rate, I know that so many people need this computer. But I thought I’d write about my grandmother, just to add her name to the list of deserving people.

  427. I would love to win this as MY BF is overseas and we keep in touch online. I could surprise him with a new PC>

  447. Oh, do I want to win!!!!! Our oldest son is preparing to head out of state next fall for college. He could put this fabulous computer
    to great use. Many thanks, Cindi

  461. I nominate my husband to win the HP Touchsmart 600! My husband and I both have old computers. His laptop is 5 years old. He’s wanted a new computer for the past few years. Today is our 3rd Anniversary. It would be the best surprise!

    He has done so much for me and my family. I’ve been sick for a long time and he has given up a lot to take care of me. He also helps out my mom and dad. My mom has Multiple Sclerosis and it’s hard for my dad because he’s been her caregiver for 19 years. She became bedridden in 1990!

    Thanks so much for the wonderful contest. 🙂

    Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

    Dina

  464. This would be a dream! My 4 year old computer doesn’t work well anymore. I had to stop blogging because it freezes too often and is just too slow!

    If I won the HP Touchsmart 600, I could get back to my blog and do so many other things!

    Thanks for an incredible contest!

    Dina

  469. This would be AMAZING!! To whine for a minute, my laptop is OLD – and it’s missing a few keys from the dog. The disk drive also falls out and hangs where my four year old pushed it off the couch…hmmm…I would SO love to have this one!! 🙂

  489. Would love to win this computer for my husband! The computer would be much appreciated by us and our 5 kids, used for both our home business and homework!

    wmmahaney(at)att(dot)net

  511. Of course I want to win this! Our two laptops died last week. Not making this up! They both died and we are still grieving.

  528. This touchsmart would be so cool to have at home. I could have a baby on my hip and still be able to get work done.

    member(dot)thao(at)gmail.com

  530. I’d want my in-laws to win the computer- they have a computer that is over 10 years old & it is so slow. I’d love for them to win a new one because they cannot afford to get it for themselves!

  536. I would like to nominate myself.I am a single mom of one special needs daughter and thankfully I have a job. Now my job requires I work from home and I have to supply the computer. I work nights offering internet support. I also blog. These are how I make money for me and my daughter, but to do this I have to lease a computer(so I lose $130 a month) to leasing. I need a computer for work.One that I own. So help me work from home and provide for me and Roo…

  537. Who wouldn’t want to win… I would love to win… a new computer would be wonderful and if it just so happened to be an HP touch so be it… hehee

  557. i would BLESS my neighbor Betty with a TouchSmart… she is an elderly widower who lives alone and her family is far away and i think it would be easy for her to use (touch vs. mouse as she has arthritis) and would be so very good for her to keep in touch wiht family and stay connected.
    thank you for your consideration and Bless You.

  562. My sister desperately needs a new computer. I gave her an old refubished HP Notebook that I purchased 9 years ago. She’s been using it for organizing her church’s social events but it’s slowing down with age.

  563. I’m always a very caring and giving person, but at this time my computer is not working well at all. My computer is my only source to talk with my relatives whom are far away, so having a new one would be so wonderful, and I would be blessed, so Thank you for this chance to win this!!

  564. It would be a blessing to have a new computer in the house my old one the kids got viruses and would not on it it’s slow now, It couldn’t come but a perfect time the holidays. Good luck everyone Happy holidays!

  574. I would love to win this computer

    I want to nominate my daughter. As a single mom , she has overcame many obstacles in her life. She is currently working full time and working on her degree. Her current computer is old and has trouble keeping up with the technology of her online classes. Winning this computer would help her achieve her dreams. Thank you

  590. Wow! What a blessing it would be to have that computer for our family. Our old laptop is so old and slow and we get so frustrated every time we use it. For homework, we usually give up and just go to the library and use their computers.
    Thanks for the chance to win!

  604. I I could nominate someone, I would nominate my brother in law Nels. He went through the MidWest flooding, lost his job and went back to school fulltime. Doesnt sound difficult, but he’s 40+ and is struggling because he is using my old dinosaur (this one) to write papers and going to computer lab. A computer like the touchsmart would make his life a little easier.

  607. I would LOVE to win this- my desktop is a homebuilt from 2003. It is a dinosaur! It would be a blessing!

  612. I want to win!! My old HP is slowly dying and getting slower everyday! It would be so awesome to be able to do everything I want online if I won! Good Luck everyone!

    shannpf1977@yahoo.com

  651. As for the second nomination…..I have to nominate my mom and dad. Now, before it sounds too cliche, it is not for the typical reasons.

    My parents are amazing in the way they love. They have me, all grown up with three kids of my own, my 15 year old brother, and they are also in the process of their fourth adoption. My little siblings are 7, 6, 4, and 2. All of them have special needs ranging from autism spectrum, neurological impairments, cerebral palsy, and more. This comptuer would be a blessing for them for all they do, a great way to maintain and research information on the kids, as well as a great learning tool for those adorable kids.

    Thank you so much for the contest & God bless!

  654. Wow – what a great gift for the kids for Christmas. Although to be honest, I may have to have Santa give this one to me!

  655. Tamara: I don’t want you to miss out on your entries….each thing you do counts as an entry only IF you put them as separate comments with only 1 thing you did per comment. You have enough that you have done to have 4 entries but you must put only 1 item per post (You will end up with 4 separate posts.)

  656. I would like to win this computer because we could really use a new one to replace my 7 year old clunker but any excess money is going toward out wedding planning. Thanks for the chance to win!

  657. If i won the second computer I would like to nominate my sister Erin to receive it. Her computer is about 15 years old and run to the ground. She deserves this. Her kids would LOVE to play on a nice new computer too.

  658. I nominate my oldest Grandson to get this HP TouchSmart 600 computer. He’s 15 and it would really help him in school, and he would love it for the gaming he loves to play. And since he doesn’t have one at home, it would make the perfect gift for him.

  669. This would be awesome to win! My husband has been begging for a computer and I’d love to be able to give him one for Christmas.

    Thanks for the chance.

  676. I would like to Bless my tween granddaughter with the a HP Touchsmart 600. She can research her homework and keep in touch with gramma with updates on what she is doing daily

  678. I am DYING to win this. My computer is 7 years old. I literally click on a webiste…do house work for 30min, come back and it is just pulling up what I want….and that is AFTER I just reformated it and started all over. In short…I need this for my sanity 🙂

  685. Our family needs a new computer very badly. Our oldest son has just learned in the last year how to play Nick Jr., Sprout, and jumpstart preschool games. I would love to give him our old computerfor theses purposes and have a state-of-the-art TouchSmart for the home computing needs of my wife and I. Thank you for the chance.

  686. What an awesome giveaway! I’d love to win this for my husband (who’s a student), so he doesn’t have to share a computer with me!

  704. What a great giveaway! I would love to win this for my son who is living in Missouri. His computer just died and I miss chatting with him on it! Thank you so much for the chance!!

  705. My third is to say my sister in law, Tonya, would be a great receiver and so deserves to win the second computer! She is a wonderful person, has raised her son alone (who is now a senior in high school and such a joy!!) and is an amazing aunt to my two little ones!
    Thanks!
    Maggie M.

  708. I am subscribed to your rss yahoo feed. thanks for the chances..Someone is going to be VERY lucky..

  710. I would love to win because I would keep the new one, because who wouldn’t keep such a great computer, and give my old one that I am using to my friend. She could use a computer and I would love to own one of these. My daughters and I could have so much fun with it.

  713. I would like to nominate my 16 year old daughter to receive this new computer. She is interested in film-making but our current computer is too old/too slow to upload videos for editing, etc.

  734. I hope I don’t sound greedy, but I would like to nominate myself. I have wanted a laptop for so long and although they’re not that pricey, there is always something that we need to spend money on more than a laptop. I blog and there are times I feel neglectful being stuck at the desk and I just stop and shut it down. Desktop is so restrictive.
    I haven’t worked on getting to conventions because I don’t have one – how fun it would be to go!!
    I can just imagine blogging in the park in the summertime while the kids play – wow a whole new world 🙂
    Good luck to 5M4M and to all of us – whoever wins will be a lucky duck!!

  737. I would like to Nominate my Art Class for your second Giveaway computer. I teach Art in a small private Christian School on an almost nothing budget. It would be so Wonderful to have this computer in the front of my room,
    while I teach each day, to show my students a “picture” of what I’m teaching them about. We have no books, at this time I have some OLD art books that I photo copy a picture from in black and white. What a joy it would be to pull up the Mona Lisa or Van Goghs sunflowers or a Snowman,,, ( we live in Alabama, not much snow) Or a tree in the fall COLORS , the latest project I just taught by cutting out pictures from Magazines and making a poster for them to study. This type computer would be a blessing………..A pictures worth a thousand words…
    this would be priceless. Please let me know if I win at
    evanochko@bellsouth.net. and Thank you.

  772. I would nominate my brother and sister-in-law to get the second computer. They went through a rough spot in the last year and had to start all over, and now they don’t have a pc anymore. I used to be able to keep in contact with her via MySpace, Facebook, and email, and now I’m limited to texts and phone calls and that’s hard when I’m on the East Coast and she’s on the West Coast!

  789. For the second HP TouchSmart 600 {if I don’t win the first one hehe} I would nominate myself… because I seriously need a new computer. As I said in my initial comment, I’ve only had bottom of the line PC’s that cost no more than $500 at WalMart. My web/graphic design business has picked up lately and this computer – while it does carry out the tasks I need to perform – is slow, often freezes, and gives me the ‘blue scree’ quite frequently. Any designer knows how bad that can be – especially when it does it JUST before you save your work… then you have to start from scratch. ALLLLL that inspiration and hard work GONE. Ouch. 🙂 Plus, I’ve gotten involved in several blogging/writing ventures, teaming up with some amazing people and I’m going to need a reliable computer. To boot, working on my own books {5 of them!} is pretty rough when I am limited on how many programs this computer can successfully run simultaneously!

    IF I were lucky enough to win the first one, I would nominate my mom for the second. She has a several-years-old laptop that is running Windows XP and it’s got a terrible lag, so she doesn’t get online as often as she’d like… she lives in another state so my blog is mainly the only way she can keep up with her grandchildren.. She found out earlier this year that she only has 30% operability of BOTH of her kidneys… She still works full time but since the insurance company is considering her illness to be preexisting, they aren’t covering most of her medical expenses for 12 months, so she is not able to spring for the cost of a new computer. Soooo I’d LOVE to be able to gift her with a computer that she can actually USE {and use often} …

    Those are my nominations!
