So with that you don't ever have to move the mouse because the scrolly thing does it for you, but with the other one you can only click, i see.
I may get one if apple release one then would be nice to make my macbook as a desktopn setup at home.

If any of you Mac users have thought about buying .Mac for the iDisk, there's a free 1GB version, that works in the same way. It's an internet file storage facility, great for sharing files between Home, Work, friends etc.
Sign up here for free.
You can mount it on the Mac desktop, just like an iDisk by doing this:
In the MacOS Finder select the Go menu then choose Connect to Server (Or even simpler Command-K).
Type in the address: https://www.box.net/dav
At the login screen as your USERNAME, put your full email address you used when creating your Box.net account, and for the PASSWORD use your Box.net password.
Then just drag 'n' drop files like any other Mac disk. Apparently filenames shouldn't contain spaces at the moment for them to show up.
It's well worth having for free!

thank you mr jools I think il get that as a spare since my .mac is getting a bit full 
P.s. thanks for sending the the links to the apps I now have the 2 disk ones on my system (already had olnyx) I also found another one which is quite good (similar to that of the windows one) Its called disc inventory X and shows a overview of the system memory, although im not sure which I prefere yet.

You can't rename it. WebDAV is the protocol that it uses to connect and transfer data. It's what allows it to work just like a regular Mac disk.

I haven't tried this but you may be able to make an alias of the disk (Apple-L on the icon) and drag it to your login items (Prefs > Accounts > Login Items). Make sure you save the option to save your username and password in the keychain when you first log on to the drive.

indeed it works mr jools, or you can just drag the actual folder over.
New question: I ended up getting another mac system the otherday and it has a blutooth wirless keyboard, but most of the time when i type it puts stings of letters like if I hit the key it will type eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee im not really sure why this is, it also frequently disconnects. Any idea of what the cause could be?
Cheers
Luke

Hmmm...not sure about the wireless keyboard problem. I've not got one or ever used one!
Have you checked the Apple forum here:
