I hate computer docks. Anyone recommend a bluetooth mouse?

This morning, the dock I was using with my laptop computer at work just "died". All of a sudden, I was disconnected from the network and my external keyboard and mouse stopped working. WTF?

I have work to do, so i just plugged everything straight into the laptop, and soldiered on. Maybe that's why should just get wireless "everything". The dock failing was just a symptom of the "real" problem. connecting stuff to a computer is prone to failure, stuff breaking is bound to happen. This laptop does have bluetooth, maybe I should just get a bluetooth mouse, and headphones, and a phone that can connect with bluetooth.

Oh well... back to work.

At the end of the day, I left 30 minutes early, stopped at Starbucks, to get the iTunes data for the CDs I ripped on my PowerBook, only to find that they don't have Internet... I drive down the road to another, and discover that they have that damned hook-up with AT&T wifi. Fortunately, I have AT&T DSL, but it is becoming apparent that I won't be able to leave so cheaply if I need wireless internet and Flickr Pro... Oh well, it is still cheaper than Comcast Cable, right?
