- In a previous message, knapp@cs.purdue.edu (Edgar Knapp) says in response
- to my comment:
-
- >>I don't think this is a problem with System 7.1 per se, since I have
- >>seen it on at least one other machine -- and *that* one was running
- >>6.0.2 at the time. That problem was fixed when the mouse was replaced
- >>*and* the system software was re-installed; I don't know if the same will
- >>work in this case, but I thought I'd suggest it anyway.

- >The man said he had a PowerBook 170 in his original post. I wish
- >people would read more carefully before they respond.
-
- I don't want to turn this into a flame war, but I *did* read the original
- post. Yes, I know that the PB 170 doesn't come with a mouse, but I
- personally know four people who prefer to use a mouse with the PB 170
- (obviously not while traveling, however), and even if no mouse is involved
- here, it doesn't take much effort to figure out that my suggestion would
- be to try replacing the trackball.
-
- I wish people would read more carefully before they make rude and/or
- condescending remarks.
