Im going to be getting aa iMac in a few weeks, and was wondering how stuff like my scanner is going to work? The drivers for it from Canon were written for PPC. Does rosetta translate drivers? Or is my scanner shot?

I have a printer/scanner/copier that had only PPC drivers for a while. My experience would lead me to say "it'll work fine." Of course, there might be some peculiarities between our versions and companies, et cetera, but I'd say your chances are definitely good.
