I generally like Safari, but I gotta admit you have a point. Sal

The annual Pwn2Own competition pits security experts looking for vulnerabilities against the latest and greatest web browsers. This year, after only one day of attacks, Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer all fell victim to exploits. The lone survivor in this year's contest is the newcomer: Google Chrome.

Lol !... yes it is the equivalent of the little clock, which hardly EVER appears anymore on IE, and then only for a second once in a blue moon. Yes, Safari is often busy doing god knows what !

Sal Sal, I told you Macs suck, but you didn't listen (I have been using a Mac since 1989, and am forced to use one again in recent years because of teaching graphic design, and the geeks in graphic design departments at colleges require it for their students just because they are ignorant of the real computer world outside of Macs.) Macs do that planet freeze up thing for various reasons and not just with Safari. They freeze up for several seconds or even completely. PC's do it as well (I use both on a daily basis on a professional level), but good PC's (Toshiba -- not Dell or Gateway shit) do not do it nearly as often, or for as long, as Macs do. I told you not to get a Mac Sal. Macs suck. Dell gets the most NUMBER of complaints of any company in consumer complaints, but Macs are in second place as having the most number of complaints, and Macs sell about a hundredth of the number of computers as Dell does. You cannot get around the globe thing, it is part of living with a Mac. Don't listen to what Vaj says, he does not use them at a professional level. He is just a Mac fanatic geek with no significant real-world experience. He waits arounf for a total of about 15 minutes or more a day for his Mac to do things that he doesn't even realize do not happen with Toshibas. He even waits for several minutes for Safari to load, just to clear out data every time, just to be able to function at a mediocre layman's level. But you could try clearing out your browsing data regularly, also, unplug completely your modem if you have one, and all its cables at all points for a few minutes, and do a restart once a week at least.

My Mac never freezes, and the problem with the cursor is only happening on one website. Thanks to all for the suggestions. Sal
