Jon, I have an eMac at home and experienced the same irritating problems as you! [smiley=angry.gif]
I found once I used Firefox for acccessing this site that the problem simply went away! I'd give using Frefox a shot. There's little difference between Firefox and Safari, and the one plus I've found is Firefox will rarely "freeze up" on you, whereas Safari seems to have that annoying problem pop up more often!
