   If this is on a Rom 3, the cause is buggy software. Apparently, the
way things get drawn on the 3 vs the 01 changed, mostly affecting
mouse drawing. [BeatBox is one program that suffers from this]

   There are no halfway widespread viruses for the IIGS-- this is not
the PC world. In fact, I don't think any have come out in the past few
years, except for the mental virus that's tricked a bunch of people
here into thinking that Dr. Tom is a sane, competent, and trustworthy
member of this newsgroup.
