My computer is so slow

Last night I stayed late on the computer downloading pictures of us. While I was waiting for the pictures to download I was reading the sports page and the apidexin reviews. My computer is so slow it keeps hanging up and I have to refresh the page all the time, I turned off my computer even though I was not finished downloading the pictures. I have a 5 year old laptop and I know that I need a new one but I do not want to buy a new laptop while the old one is still working. It is easy to get a new one as long as you have a credit card or cash but I do not want to do it yet. Maybe if my computer stopped working then it is the time but for now I am just glad that it is still working even if it is slow.
