      My Windows XP netbook has become outmoded by Win 200, Vista, Win 7 and I would like to change to Apple where there is no inbuilt obsolescence.

      I would love to win this because I lent my computer to my in law and they won't give it back, plus I have had a broken leg for 5 years now because the hospital didn't fix it properly the first few times they operated, so I really really need to win this.
