   Thanks for the recommendation!  I know I don't need to ask "Will it work   
   with Linux?" :-)  I'm more concerned about keyboard and mouse feel and   
   comfort than the cost of batteries.  One review of the MK320 mentioned   
   "laptop-sized mouse" which might be uncomfortable for me (I have large   
   hands).   
      
   BTW Big Lots has good deals on rechargeables when they're in stock,   
   occasionally including AAAs and charger.  OTOH name-brand alkaline AAs   
   and AAAs are under $0.50 each if you buy a package of two or three dozen.

   I looked at some online reviews of the MK320 and most were positive, but   
   the negative ones tended to mention the same drawbacks.  On your   
   suggestion, I'll wait on opening the cordless mouse and drop by Staples   
   Tuesday to check out the MK320 (same price as the mouse I bought).  I   
   hadn't considered getting a keyboard/mouse combo.  Thanks for the advice!
