[G5] Re: Bluetooth mouse can't wake computer (was: Waiting for my 1.8 G5)

[Tim Collier]

I couldn't figure out if mine was version B2 or later either.  As for the
option to Allow to wake computer, mine aren't greyed out....I don't
understand.  Wish I could help.  Did you check from System prefs or from the
little bluetooth icon on the menu bar?  I just checked both and the option
is clickable on both.  OK, I'm at a loss.
