[G4] Cursor Freezing

[jonseward at mindspring.com]

BTW, Tony,

The original mouse w. my G5 had a metalic sheath on the cable.  That mouse
failed by the cable fatigueing as it 
entered the body of the mouse.  It gave some highly erratic results for a
while until I discovered the fault.  The 
damage to the cable was nearly imperceptible, but by that point the wires
had almost entirely sheared through.

Thanks Frank, but I am still on 10.3.9, spotlight was never enough to get me
to pay $200AUD for Tiger, so I am holding out til Leopard.

I have pegged my problem to the mouse as it has recurred this evening and
unplugging/plugging-in the USB connector unfroze the cursor. Looks like a
new mouse will be on the way from the apple store to here soon. It will be a
single button mouse. I have a Belkin 2 button mouse on my iBook, and prefer
the standard apple mouse, it would be nice to get a scroll wheel though.
Ever heard of a one button mouse that had a scroll wheel?
