About once a month I'll be working at my computer, and there will be an apparent screen freeze. I will momentarily get upset and swear, but usually after a few seconds I realize that the LED in my mouse is off, and that all I need to do is put new batteries in my mouse. No data is lost. Folks who are more organized than I am could get four rechargeable batteries and one of those inexpensive wall chargers, and keep two batteries charged at all times. Then they could just routinely exchange the batteries in their mouse for the ones in the charger, let's say every Monday at the start of the work day. That would avoid a lot of swearing. 8-{D Randy B.
