If so, Apple has the solution <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/DL997" target="_blank">here</a>.&nbsp;</p>

Our Mac Mini does have the old Mighty Mouse BT with the BT keyboard, but the batteries on that thing seem to last forever. But I suppose Ill update anyway...

The Apple Blog has an article here (http://theappleblog.com/2010/01/26/did-apples-latest-keyboard-update-make-things-worse/) that says some having problems now with battery life with this update...

Well, there's one reason why I check System Updates about once a month on the Mini! ;)
