Youch!
My load is usually my 560, wireless modem, and sometimes a power supply or
extra battery (I keep a power supply at home and at the office, only need
to carry one if I'm going somewhere else).. I can fit it all in the
minimalist WetSuit case (formfitting wetsuit material case, the same size
as the laptop) and still have room in the pocket for a cellphone, pager and
wallet :)

Sounds reasonable, but I've never heard of an IRDA-speaking cordless mouse,
I thought they all used their own proprietary protocols.
