Perhaps this machine's just past it's prime, but it seems like over the last couple of months my old G4 has progressively gotten slower. It's now taking forever to open applications. Can't stream even the simplest small videos. Lot's of pinwheel,not much else. I have cleared caches, flashed pram, run Spring Cleaning. no improvement. I always system update when prompted. Has the software moved beyond the capability of this computer? Here's the vitals...
OS X - Version 10.4.11

Any ideas or help are greatly appreciated.
cheers,
Bruce
