Does anyone know of a cordless mouse that will pop up a window, or simply shut down, when the battery voltage gets low enough to harm NiMH cells?
My Logitech won't, and if I forget to check the battery monitor status, the voltage gets so low that the cells require several charge/discharge cycles to get the capacity back. I had one cell that never did come back to normal, so I threw it out.
The battery monitor clearly wasn't designed for NiMH anyway, but I think a warning when the voltage reaches "critical" would do the job.
If my Pentium 4 isn't fast enough to allow the Logitech software to figure it out, I could always upgrade to one of those hyper-threading things. If 512 Meg of memory isn't enough for Logitech, I could go to 1 Gig. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
