There must have been a patch recently. I've had two Magic Mice for around a month. One's linked to my 24" iMac and the other is linked to my unibody MacBook Pro. The iMac one is used every day for at least a couple of hours, often for much longer. The MacBook Pro one is used very occasionally. I haven't had to recharge the batteries yet. The battery level for the iMac one is currently 56% and the other one is 87%.
I had heard that they eat up batteries, so I'm using Varta 2100mAh rechargeable batteries, which seem to be lasting pretty well.

Life would be so much easier if we only had the source code. There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't. Microsoft: "You've got questions. We've got dancing paperclips." The box said 'Required Windows XP or better'. So, I installed LINUX. I had a fortune cookie the other day and it said: 'Outlook not so good'. I said: 'Sure, but Microsoft ships it anyway'. Mac users swear by their Mac... PC users swear at their PC.
