Heh.  Some two and a half years ago, Eneloops showed up at CostCo (a =20
US membership-based big-box retailer) at good prices, and I bought a =20
couple sets, since reports of performance were good and I was really =20
tired of dealing with rechargable batteries that were usually dead =20
when I went to use them (and frequently SO dead that they wouldn't =20
take a charge at all.)

I decided that they should be replaced with NiMh.  I found one of the =20
Eneloop packages, still sealed up.  Opened it up and put a couple of =20
the cells in the touchpad.  They worked!  Not even a "low battery" =20
