I think you just hit the nail on the head for this one.  My co-worker has the same
setup as mine ( IIci with 8MB RAM and an 80 MB HD ) and he gets the smiley face
and the scrolling list of people.  The only difference between the machines is that
when we installed the System 7 software, I did it for IIci only and he did it for
all Macintosh computers.  I haven't re-installed my system yet, but I'm putting
10 to 1 odds that you're right.
