Got my Mac! -- and a question....

The day I've been waiting for, my Mac Pro *and* extra RAM came in today!

This is my first Mac, and getting used to how it works diffently from Windows will take some time, but the initial experiences are great.

This system is 99.9% quiet - you can barely even tell that it's turned on! I just installed Lightroom, and Photoshop is up next.

Of course I did take unboxing photos, just need to edit a bit, and I'll upload a slideshow later today.

On to the questions...

1. Darthraige was telling me about setting up a second optical drive (using cable select), so I did, plugged everything back in securely (even checked twice), but the Mac isn't recognizing it. The drive is an HP 640 Lightscribe DVD burner. Works perfectly in my PC.

2. I'm using my new wireless Mighty Mouse, and I increased the tracking speed to full, but it doesn't zip around screen nearly as fast as my PC mouse did. Is that just a function of the mouse, and a different one might be faster?

Thanks to everyone for their advice and encouragement - looks like I'm officially a switcher

Erik: That was the first thing I checked, it was definitely set to "cable" (the others were "master" and "slave")

Toups: I'm looking in the Keyboard & Mouse area under the "Mouse" tab, and I don't see an option for sensitivity. The only options I have are Tracking (set all the way to FAST), Scrolling (set about midway) and Double-Click (set almost to Fast.)

Thanks for the replies so far!
