And that means? I think my fan on my laptop is broken...or at least there is something grinding around in there. Sounds like it's about to break down on me...which would suck since I don't have enough storage on a memory stick to get all of my stuff off the computer.

I got a refurbished MacBook for Christmas two years ago and I'll never go back to a PC again. Now this iPhone on the other hand I will not miss when my next update is available. Samsung galaxy, here I come.

That means I'm back to a normal resolution and the system is back to semi quick. Without the card pages would literally roll like a defective TV when loading.
Does your laptop have a DVD burner?
Take some canned air and (gently) blow out the open vents on your laptop.

Yeah...I have to get some of that. It sounds like a tiny screw in the fan. The top is loose so I wonder if a little piece of plastic or a screw fell off in there.

Could be. If you have too much info to back up on a flash stick you can buy a small, portable external hard drive to back up with

Yeah I think we have one of those...

I'm going to have to do something soon though. It's been about 2yrs and that seems to be the life expectancy of my laptops.

Yup, we blew the fan out not too long ago. I use it every night and it sits on my lap. When the fan is dusty it gets really hot.

I use one of those lap top trays, or whatever the hell they are called, for your lap.
