Bluetooth Mice -the fun starts!

There has to be an explanation for this. The Microsoft Wireless Laser 8000, one of the few Bluetooth mice available in a non-midget size, apparently is shipped with the preposterous expectation that you only will use the supplied Bluetooth dongle.

Which is great, especially since the only reason I wanted to buy a bluetooth mouse was to get rid of the disarray of dongles in the first place! Nice one!

Some people managed some draconian ritual to get it to run, but somehow this didn't work for me. At all.

This will be great fun...
