What is the Wrapper Volume? What does it have to do with the mouse?

I have an agp dp/450 with 1.25gb (2x512, 2x128)

I'm looking around for a 35mm slide/negative scanner, nothing too
expensive and probably second-hand via eBay. Does anyone know of a model
or make that runs with an Intel Mac? I was close to getting one made by

and just have it work, or do I need drivers? If I need drivers, are
there any open source drivers available?

If I get a generic IDE DVD-ROM drive and attach it via an IDE->USB2.0
adaptor I have (normally used on PCs, never tried it on the mac), then

I have recently purchased an external hard drive to avoid having to lug
my laptop home from the office each night.  Can anyone recommend a Sync
program to help keep my hard drives in step with one another?  I use
iSync for my Address Book and Calendar, and love it because it updates

I just ordered one of the new Core2Duo MBP's.  I ordered the airline
adapter but I know that the airline adapter won't work with car
chargers.  My question, is there a car charger available for it?  Even
if it's 3rd party that's fine as long as it works.  I travel some by

I have posted cross posted this message to both comp.sys.mac.hardware
and misc, I would be grateful for any suggestions.

I am having trouble with an extern USB2 drive from a Chinese company
named TravelStar.  My MacBook recognizes it, and I can even copy files
onto and off of it, but I am unable to delete contents.  When I try to
delete items the process is ridiculously slow.  Afterwards, "ghosts" of

Could not find any battery powered FireWire hubs, either.
