A Man on a Mission!

Though it is MY birthday around the corner, I want to do something to motivate Melissa....she needs a new lap top.  We have both been "limping through" for years with our lap top, which has been overheating and has a bad battery, making it far from mobile.  I think a new (or gently used) lap top could motivate her to get out of the house a little.  I am not sure my approach just yet...if I will try to start a fundraiser online or send out some emails and letters.  Let me know if you have any ideas or can help!
