What happened to the sort where the receiver was a caddy/charger, and 
you put the mouse - which had a rechargeable - in it when not using it? 
I always thought that represented good lateral thinking on the part of 
the designer. Maybe the move from infra-red to wireless killed it (the 
receiver became much smaller as it didn't have to be line of sight), but 
it does bring the problem back (though only a minor problem if people 
are getting years).

They put two and two together and make a dozen, provided they take off their
socks to help them count that far. (From "Walking the Dog", by "Smilodon".)
