It certainly doesn't take that long on MY system to be able to drag an icon, I have the click response time set to 1, 0 being the fastest. If its taking too long, try changing this setting, if you can click the mouse buttons that fast comfortably. As for the business of people with unsteady hands not being able to double click with an Atari ST mouse. Well, I just don't buy this about having to click on the same pixel that has been suggested. I intentionally moved the mouse between clicks (many times) and it worked fine. If someone can use a Mac mouse fine and not the Atari mouse then I would wonder if its because of the different style of clicking. Unless I'm wrong, I think that a Mac mouse looks for the time lapse between the upbeat of the first click and the downbeat of the second click to sense a double click. In other words, you could press the button, hold it a while, release it and click again. That would work. But on the Atari ST, it measures between the two downbeats and that would not work. I just can't believe that anyone who could double-click on a Mac mouse couldn't also do it on an ST mouse with the click response time set slow enough for them. Now, they might not LIKE it cause it doesn't work quite the same as the Mac, but I can't believe that they couldn't do it. Maybe so, but I just can't see it... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The following opinions are my own and not those of anyone else who might be registered on fquest.fidonet.org.
