Hi Alex, Had many of the same probs you describe, and DiskWarrior uncovered many, many bad blocks on the mag disk drive. Replaced the drive (with Harry’s help), and then upped the RAM to 8GB total. No more difficulty. : ) -russ > On Jan 11, 2016, at 7:26 PM, Alex Whitman

[MacGroup] El Capitan on older MacBook Pro

My early 2011 13" MBP is struggling with Yosemite (10.10.5). Lots of spinning beachballs, slow scrolling, and icons bouncing forever in the dock. I know it's long in the tooth but I'm hoping to get another 6 months out of it. Will Yosemite be better or worse for this machine? 2.7 GHz Intel Core
