I'm not sure what's going on, but after more than a year the fan on my MacMini is coming on soon after start up. I have plenty of available memory (on 5.02GB used out of 16GB) and I try to move larger files to flash-drives. I remember that iMovies tried to load a second version onto my computer last week, but I thought I'd deleted any such files. What would cause a MacMini to run hot immediately?
