Well, I had some time this afternoon, so I tried to figure out what was making the mini soooooooo sloooooooow. I "refreshed" FireFox and that seemed to help, but I think the main problem may have been a corrupted TM backup. It looked like TM hadn't been able to make a successful back up for a couple of weeks, and because of that it would try to make the hourly backup, but it wouldn't work but it would try, and try, and try, forever and I think that was really bogging things down.
So, I unmounted the TM drive, turned TM off, remounted the drive, turned TM on, and it finally finished a backup. He does not need hourly back ups, so I installed a program that lets me limit it to once a day in the middle of the night, which is plenty for his back-up needs. Hopefully this will make the mini usable, for now.
Maybe I will run across a 2012 by accident.
