[DM-MUG] problems with MacBook Pro [small one] in Chile

[Victoria L. Herring]

Our daughter has a 12/13" MBP and is in Chile in a tiny town.  She 
just called [Skype] and says that the machine is running really slow, 
takes a minute to open up applications and it beeps at her.  She is 
running Tiger still.  She is also moving off the computer everything 
she wants to save.

Any thoughts on what is going on or what she can do?
