   How much RAM does the machine have?   
      
   I had a laptop with 250 Mb RAM, and there were some programs that   
   automatically updated themselves, becoming more bloated with each update, so   
   that the machine ran slower and slower, and would take half and hour to boot,   
   and almost as long to shut down, with much swapping to disk as it needed more   
   memory.
