I'm a little disappointed that there is no apple music offered on the mac side as it was rolled out on IOS.

In safari if you do a next heading command or next or propr link, find etc, sometimes safari will go busy and freeze your computer for up to `10 minutes. This happened when I was using th epublic beta of 10.4. It sucked and I reported it, but I wonder if they fixed it or not.

Take care.
