What finally made it work was stupidly simple...

On my apple keyboard, I turned it on, typed 9 8 7 6 return and then
things started working.  I'm typing this right now from the keyboard.

Now, I guess the next step would be to find the bt mouse I have and
try to get it going as well...

This is my second favorite keyboard ever.  The happy hacking keyboard
(usb edition) was my first.  Third is the original happy hacking
keyboard.  I just like small keyboards, I guess, that aren't too
small.
