Actually, it lives in sleep mode when he's not using it, so it should
wake up and do the cron jobs on its own..

I've been talking with my grandpa, whom I converted to a Mac, but
he's been complaining of his mini feeling slower than when it was

behavior but running Jaguar on my Lombard (G3/400, 192 MB RAM) feels
more responsive than his Rev. A mini (G4/1.25 GHz, 256 MB RAM)
running Panther. Any help?
Betcha he turns it off every night. Run a utility like Cocktail or
MacJanitor to flush out the logs and do the daily cronjobs it's
supposed to be doing at 3AM.
betcha that speeds things up; when the logs get too big the consume a
lot of memory while being written to, and on a marginal system like
his, that really affects things.
