Ok. I'm going to have to break down and get a new laptop. Mine's still working just fine, but it's so slow now that I think I've got it bogged down with too much junk. I'm thinking that if I get a new one and dedicate it to just working online, it will stay running faster, longer. I can keep my current laptop for strictly personal use.
I might also look at online backup to make sure I don't lose anything on this laptop if it were to crash. Son's laptop crashed a few months ago. He has a new one now, but he went for quite awhile without one and he lost everything he'd stored on the old one.
Since mine is about three years old now, and I can write off the purchase of a new one on my next year's taxes, I'm going to be shopping in earnest for one in the next couple of months.
