also, another thing about bluetooth, to my understanding is that the
motherboard needs to have a bleutooth component in it? or, it has to be a
bluetooth motherboard?
I've no idea if mine is bluetooth enabled or not. it's a 2003 model and I
know the model and type but, that's it really.
So, bluetooth is neither here nor there to me. i wish they'd use USB
connections as well as bluetooth and infrered. I cannot use pc swuite on a
bluetooth basis.
