Full disclosure

I wouldn’t be telling the whole truth if I told you I had never had any problems with my Mac.

Right now it sits in the 3rd hour of booting up tonight and I don’t know if I will ever get it fully started again.
I have a couple more things to try but no time right now.

I think it started when a friend and I loaded some non-standard software and database type stuff. No names here, I have a horse in that race too. But it ran really slow ever since that time and I am talkin slow slow, like it can be compared favorably to the flow rate of glass; REALLY slow. I haven’t been able to pin it down to a particular process or anything.

It seemed like it was swapping memory out a lot, but there was frequently quite a bit of idle memory. I am really not so sure it isn’t a hardware problem either.

Until I get that fixed you may expect a lot fewer pictures and some seriously slow response times on email.
