I bought a 2007 iMac two and a half years ago for $250 and it's worked fairly fine until several months ago, when a cascading series of problems have popped up. I use it mainly for word processing, web surfing and e-mail. When I move my cursor somewhere, it will highlight swaths of text, and it's very difficult to UNhighlight it; when I DO want to highlight text, the cursor blinks off in a minisecond, making it very difficult to do so; it has become interminably slow opening programs; some programs are difficult - sometimes impossible - to close; more and more, I click to open a file, and the computer is unresponsive - repeated jabbing will finally get it to open; certain programs are crashing more often. . . You get the idea.
I have no idea wherein lie the problems, or whether it would behoove me to attempt to fix them, or whether I should cut the cord and buy a new one.
Any thoughts appreciated!
