"All" is rather overstated. Swmbo has a cordless mouse and keybaord that have been on the same set of batteries since November last year... So that's four months use and counting. And its an optical mouse too!
I don't think three sets of batteries a year is gobbling. Maybe you had an older model? -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Sawtell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 15 March 2005 4:08 p.m. To: linux-users@it.canterbury.ac.nz Subject: Re: Howl!!!
