One of my clients has the same setup. They went back to the plain old optical mouse with a tail because the rechargable batteries don't last long enough, and at the end of their usable charge, the mouse becomes very eratic. > I also have my old mouse within reach in case of emergencies, which is > hot-pluggable.
