[G5] Re: Bluetooth mouse can't wake computer

[irene at trilliumwoods.com]

I just looked at both the Sys prefs and the menu bar icon -- the option 
is greyed out in the system preferences and Bluetooth is greyed out on 
the menu bar. Hmmm. Is there something in a more basic set of 
preferences that governs Bluetooth's behaviour? I wonder if I should 
call Apple Tech and ask them. When I talked to them when I first got my 
G5 they told me that with the external D-Link waking the computer up 
with the mouse/keyboard wasn't an option.

Maybe you're just extremely lucky!
Thanks again,

irene
