it's sleepier than I am!

My computer has, in the last two months, become so sloooooowwwww. Slow enough that it took it about twelve minutes to go from hibernate to active this morning.

I will bake a loaf of bread (or make an apple pie) for any person willing to come over and try to fix my poor slow laptop, Half-n-Clowns, in situ. Is it spyware? Viruses? programs not updated enough? something horrible and hardware-related that costs more than the computer itself?

Or maybe it just needs coffee. Do I pour it right on the keyboard or hook up a USB (Universal StarBucks) port?

I had a coworker who tried the coffee solution with her laptop. It didn't go so well :)

[Once the coffee dried out, things went fine. Until the sugar finally ate through her motherboard 6 months later...]

Did the sugar make chewing noises? I hope it made chewing noises.
