	I'm not crazy about the investment in batteries and, at least with
mice, the added weight.  I decided to go with a BT mouse this time round,
though, and so far, I'm a happy camper.  After using the BT keypad for a
little bit now, it's growing on me.  I'll have to invest in some recharge-
able batteries, in the hopes that this will minimize the need to sink too
much money into batteries over time.
