weird things are happening to me now that I've decided to install
system 7 on the machines at work. All of them now have a tendency
to act as if the mouse button is down, even though I've just clicked
on and off of it. clicking again convinces it that it's down.
reasons? i don't have the problem on my SE at home, but the IIfx,
IIsi, and IIcx seem to be affected by this.
in addition, some fonts disappear in pagemaker.. they're there, but
don't display unless we magnify them. what do you do with all those
fonts that become "extensions"? should they be placed in the
extensions folder? I'm a system 7 font illiterate...

We finally went into a mouse with a probe (when we remembered not to click the button again) and checked out the signals on the wires. It turned out that it was a flakey debouncer (if memory serves me correctly). Unfortunately, this shows up in the newer mice (we didn't check how new it had to be.) So the next question to you, Jason, is how new are the mice on these machines? >in addition, some fonts disappear in pagemaker.. they're there, but >don't display unless we magnify them. what do you do with all those >fonts that become "extensions"? should they be placed in the >extensions folder?
