Just to let you all know, I recently went to a Mac dealer and exchanged the mouse that came with my SE for a "new" one. I've tried using it while playing Wizardry by Sir Tech (one of the two places I originally spotted the problem), and I still have the double-click problem (i.e. double-clicks when I single click about 20% of the time). So I guess it's a software problem. I haven't tried it again in Mark of the Unicorn's "Professional Composer," but since they said they also could duplicate this problem, I guess it's the software and not me. I should add, that I also began to get a FEW double clicks at the desktop level, but those stopped even before I traded mice, so I don't know if that's really significant. Jim Collymore

I can get the new Apple mouse to tell the Mac it's being clicked by
simply dropping it from about an inch onto the mousepad. Sometimes it
sends one click, sometimes two. I didn't bother dropping it onto a
hard surface, figuring that its reliability has already been
demonstrated.
