Re: wireless keyboards and mice?

We have a huge cup full of spent batteries from our first few months
of using wireless mice and keyboards. I am begging to go back to
wired. It's a waste of batteries, not to mention the upset and class
delays when the bluetooth can't connect to the wireless device.

Good luck!
