Dear friends:

Sorry to interrupt all the system 7.0 talk with a mundane question,
but I'm slowly going mad.

The trouble is my mouse (more precisely, the cursor) jumps (about 20
pixels) every now and then. This happens both at home and at work where
I have virtually identical systems:

          Mac IIci
	  System 7.0

however I'm sure it's not a system 7.0 problem -- the same thing was
happening under 6.05. I was hoping it would disappear under 7.0.

I am  an anti-init type -- I have tried permutations on the few that
I do have -- with no luck. Anyway, somethings I have that may be
causing trouble:

	MacTCP
	NCSA Telnet
	AfterDark 2.0
	Norton Utilities
	Public Folder
	Broadcast

Has anybody else experienced this? (Also -- I have done my n'th
blood test with the latest virus detection stuff -- no virusus were
found.)

cheers,

dph
