Apple/Tiger question

Edited on Wed May-18-05 07:06 AM by pinniped

I just noticed my mouse arrow disappears when scrolling with the spacebar, page down, up, right, or left. It reappears in roughly the same place when I tap the touchpad. I don't think it did that before.

Does anyone elses Apple/Tiger computer have the same disappearing mouse arrow?

Browsers are Safari and Firefox.

thx

4. Touchpad on a PB.

I'll have to try it out on the iBook later. I was using Panther on the iBook for a few months and I never noticed. I started using Tiger on the PB on Tuesday.

It just seems weird that I never noticed.

10. Sure!

I am going and I will try to keep it in mind.

I will also take some notes when Steve Jobs speaks and will post and summary in the Lounge and Mac forum.

12. Cool, tell Steve it is of the most utmost importance...lol.

It is more important than trying to squeeze a G5 into a PB.

Do you think one is on the drawing boards?
