Thanks for these ideas, but these items may be much more attractive to theft
than my slightly less-old computer.

Anyone understand the exact science of exactly what property of an animation
file makes it play clunky on an old laptop (it might actually have WinNT on
it).   Does the pixel size play a bigger role than the actual MB of file size?
Is there any file format MPEG, WMV, that inherently gives the 'puter less work
to process and display?
