iMac cursor turns into a bomb

[Mike Richardson]

I've never seen it myself until now, but I've heard of it. The cursor turns into a little bomb icon. So weird.

Now that is strange!

Maybe a system extension that customizes the mouse pointer? Do share when you figure it out!

It has to do with a bad install disc. Thankfully I use only backups so I don't scratch my originals.

That is awesome, click on something and you get an explosion before whatever you click on opens.

Thats a very good idea, I have a 9.0 disc here that I got brand new back in 1999 that is scratched due to me leaving it sitting around. Now I have to use a questionable copy I have on a CD-R.
