And yes, if it's a Mac it's supposed to make the cursor disappear (unless you mean the acceleration is set so high that you keep overshooting the cursor to the screen edges) -- you are supposed to see the arrow/cursor when you move the mouse, and it's supposed to disappear (actually turn into an I-beam/insertion point) when you start typing... I'm so used to it that computers that don't do it drive me nuts 'cuz then the cursor is right where I'm trying to see so I can type. Then again, the other day I was reading a web site where people where claiming that it's not really the big differences in interfaces that make people love one and hate the other, it's small stuff like that. For example, I hate input follows mouse, some people hate click to type, there are lots more examples like that.
