FIXED IT!

Thank you everyone for helping me look into this! I ended up doing a reinstall of the OS (el Capitan, not Sierra yet). I thought that was refreshed when I did my restore, but I guess not. Once I reinstalled that, I was back up and running.

Things still seem to run slow to me (compared to my other macs), but I guess I have to chalk that up to being an older computer.

Thanks again!
Trish
