Hi
A few months ago I needed a laptop and purchased a Macbook to run both XP and OSX. Having enjoyed using OSX i then decided to migrate from my trusty C2D home built PC to an iMac and that's when I started having problems. I now have a 1 year old 24" white iMac running Leopard which I bought secondhand - BTW the Macbook runs Tiger. My problems so far are:
These are just the problems I have encountered so far but they are making me wonder if I am doing the right thing by abandoning my PC, or is the answer as simple as scrapping Leopard and reinstalling Tiger? I would appreciate your comments on these issues to help me make up my mind what to do next. Sorry about the long post.

I now have a 1 year old 24" white iMac running Leopard which I bought secondhand - BTW the Macbook runs Tiger. My problems so far are:
- While on the internet the mouse often needs severals clicks before it responds. The mouse also often seems to get stuck when selecting things and I have trouble deselecting. - is this usual with a mighty mouse?
- There is a noticeable lag before the pages load which doesn't happen on the PC running Firefox (I am using Safari on the Mac). Again is this normal or is there a problem.
- Yesterday I tried to copy an audio CD - copied many times before using Nero on PC - simple just select "Copy CD". I have been unable to find a way of doing this on the Mac and I know there must be one - after all Macs are easier aren't they? Surely I don't have to import the tracks and then create a new CD? Although I have tried this. I have tried using Toast 8, iTunes and Disk Utility but have so far been unable to copy the CD.
- I then tried to connect my Canon MP600 and ancient HP 970CXI, both of which worked with the MacBook only to find that they don't with the iMac.
