Sometimes when my desktop is really cluttered, it's hard to find the icon for the CD
In that case, I click the eject button on my keyboard, and then when I put it in again, I watch the screen really closely for movement to see where it pops up.
Hope that helps!
Wilferg is absolutely right and explained it waaaay better than I could. We have had Macs ever since the first "Classic Mac" and would not have anything else. When I discovered my just turned 3 year old had "his" drawing program on the "CM" and was politely drawing away and all this without any help or oversight from anyone, I decided that machine ruled. It still is around here. (That son is now 31 and a mechanical engineer. Wasn't too long ago, was it?)
Enjoy your new computer. I suspect you won't look back.
