[G5] Waiting for my 1.8 Ghz. G5.

[Tim Collier]

I bought my iMac from the Apple store and it didn't come with Bluetooth
installed.  I bought the recommended Bluetooth adapter that Apple suggests
on their website: "Requires a Bluetooth enabled Macintosh (either built-in
or using the qualified D-Link DBT-120 USB Bluetooth Adapter (Hardware
version B2 or later. Older D-Link DWB-120M adapters are not supported). Mac
OS X, v10.2.6 or higher required."
They had this at CompUSA for $30.  That and the updates fixed everything, I
repeat, fixed everything.  Don't even try to use any other Bluetooth Adapter
as I had one sitting around and just out of curiosity tried it.....less than
satisfactory results.  And let me provide you with the link to the proper
update:  http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120276
Now, do all that and I guarantee that you will have satisfactory results.
Plus, the iMac looks so much more elegant without all those cords running
everywhere.
