It does?
Strange, I've had mine for a year and a half and the battery still has the 
same life it had when I bought it.,

It is?

The only time I use a mouse on my laptop is when I'm playing games. For 
surfing and normal work I don't need one.
I was given one of these, so it's sooo easy to cary in the laptop bag.

Encryption + MAC address filtering for your home wireless network.
If you're using someone else's wireless (hotel, conference center, etc) be 
aware of what you're sending and use SSL as much as possible and install a 
good firewall.
