I haven't noticed this on any computer but my newest PowerBook, and I just want to see if anyone else has this issue (or if it can be fixed). When the mouse goes to the "waiting" stage, instead of a color beachball next to the pointer, I get a small black and white disc that spins just to the right of the arrow. Additionally, about 50% of the time where a beachball should appear, I get the MacOS classic-style hourglass and no beachball. Where would my computer be getting these older cursors? It happens all the time in Firefox and intermittently in other applications. I don't have Classic enabled.

Obviously, it's not a big deal, because I don't see either of these cursors often or for more than a moment, but it strikes me as odd that they show up at all. I'll be installing Tiger soon, so it will probably go away. But it's a little bit puzzling.
