- Errr, mea culpa. I insisted on running LacePointer on this 3000 running
- a developer's beta of 3.0 because (a) I wanted to see if it would work, and
- (b) because lores pointers suck. I forgot that LacePointer also substitutes
- a busy pointer of its own for the standard busy pointer (in fact, an animated
- stopwatch which looks nearly identical to the default busy pointer).
-
- However, my question still stands -- is there a program (or a method of writing
- one) which works under 3.0 which allows animated busy pointers?
