Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

So my Macbook is about four years old, and it's slowing down a lot. I'm getting a lot of spinning wheels, just for simple tasks like opening a static web page or changing to another program.
Are there utilities I should be using to clean it up and speed up performance? Or should I assume it's just beat and start looking at another machine?

I would say start looking. My motherboard went after 2 years and it was still under warranty. I can give you some software tips, but after 4 years, I think you need to cruise by the apple refurb aisles.

Our wings are not tired.
I hate the rapid and often forced, planned obsolescence of technology, I really, really do.
