kindof interesting (mouse is painfully slow however).
All the below applies to NS 3.3, don't recall for earlier versions
(none of which are recommended, with some minor caveats)
One of the "Dock" icons should be a clock/calendar (or some subset
thereof). Double-click that, and it'll bring up "localization
preferences". Click on the mouse, and you can change the mouse speed.
People always comment on how fast my mouse is...
As others have said, if a "me" password is set, you get the login
screen. If not, it logs you straight in as "me", which is not a
recommended way to run the machine (but if you've got boxed versions,
you can always rebuild the HD...)
To set the password, go back to Localization Preferences, and click
on the padlock.
To create other accounts, I always use UserManager (found in the
NextAdmin folder).
