Well, here on my G3 333 minitower (last of the beiges!) , it doesn't
work. I remember trying it awhile ago, and it worked fine. That was
when I was running 8.1.
I now have Mac OS 9 (believe me, if you're running pre 8.5, get it...
it's great!) , and it doesn't work worth beans. I am using a third
party (macally) ADB mouse, but I highly doubt that's it. The problem
is mac os 9 specific, I'm sure.
I believe there's something about Mac OS 9 taking away quite a few
functions of QuickDraw, one including the ability to delay the
updating of a window. However, apps that do that will just crash
instantly in 9... maybe you wanna check if that's anywhere in there
scott, eh? :)

You're probably thinking the same as me... you guys would know the
actual code problems, I suppose... if not, talk to the apple.
