My wife recently commented on how slow our iMac is, and I said to her, “What do you expect? It’s an old machine.”
Old? This computer has been with us for not even three years, and we barely use it. But it’s been crawling like a snail, as if all that web surfing and emailing have worn down the hardware. I hear the Intel Core Duo making creaking noises.
Maybe it’s the recent Lion upgrade. Are we still at that stage where every major OS upgrade means a leap in system requirements? How about instead of new features, make the OS more efficient so that it can run faster on older machines?
Or maybe my iMac is running just fine, but my sense of speed has warped by using a newer and faster Mac at work.
