Thanks.  These batteries are rechargeable, right?  I was hoping not to
have to replace batteries as often as I do with my current mouse.  The
multibutton logitech that I remember seeing a year ago had a cradle
into which the mouse can be placed and recharged.

I will probably go for the G7 as you recommend.

Thanks again,
