Hi Dan,
Okay, I ran Disk Utility, selected mac HD and had it Verify, and it found
no errors. ("appears to be OK"). Cool!
Of the 160 G on my hard drive, I have 132.76 G of free space.
I use Safari for browsing, and I cleared caches and cookies a few weeks
ago. I do get the spinny beach balls when opening iTunes app. I don't have
to refresh every single webpage I go to, no. So maybe it's just those
aforementioned websites then.
I also ditched the Ad Block extension today, since I read in another post
that that can cause big lags in pages loading.
Well, maybe I'm worrying over nothing.
I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something important or that there
isn't something else I should do.
